Where does Blair vote

[muncy]

BBC showed Blair voting in the council elections in Westminster, but at general elections they always show him voting in Sedgefield. How can he vote in local council elections in one place and general elections in another?

Blair has two houses and will be registered to vote in both of them. There's no limit on the number of places that anyone can be registered to vote: if you have six houses, then you could have six places to vote in. However, it is a criminal offence to vote more than once.

As for Blair's voting patterns, it makes sense for him to vote for himself and he only stands in Sedgefield. It doesn't make sense for him to travel up just to vote in the council elections.

Doesn't Tony Blair vote in Trimdon and not Sedgefield? That's where his house is.
