Eee, I didn't know that I knew anyone who'd vote for me! (But then I don't know exactly where you live, which is the reason this is so surprising for me.) Cool! Thank you for doing that. :)

Schleping around to get nomination signatures is the bane of our existence. We need people who live in each of the wards where people will stand in the local elections, so it isn't a matter of other people being closer; it has to be people who are on the electoral register in that ward.
