Plot summary
A South London school serves as a polling station through the final ninety minutes of the 2015 general election. The clerks are Kirsty Henderson, Laura Williams and Stephen Crosswell, and the voters who pass their tables include a woman who slips and is helped to her feet by elderly Fred Norris, prompting Kirsty to remember deaths she has known on polling duty, excited first time voters, a quarreling couple, a woman who registered her hospitalized mother and not herself, and candidates chasing votes. Swedish journalist Tilde Larson arrives because Kirsty became a YouTube celebrity that morning by breaking down the school's locked doors, and selfies are banned at the station.
