All over England, people are voting Liberal Democrat today - because they know they'll get Councillors who will champion quality social care, strong local schools, and well-funded services.
And - even better, thousands of people have been tweeting to say why they're voting for their local Lib Dem candidates - here are a few of our favourites:
First time voter! #VoteLibDem @LibDems

Voted for the only party that makes sense #VoteLibDem
— Matt Brooke-Smith (@lordmatty) May 3, 2018
I will be voting #LibDem on May 3rd. Not only because they are the better candidate but because every seat the #Tories or #Labour lose strengthens the hand of moderate #Remainers in each party, without whom we cannot #StopBrexit. #VoteLibDem pic.twitter.com/xmpyArpClN

I’ve seen first hand from growing up in this beautiful borough how we have been let down time and time again because we’ve been used as pawn for corrupt, political interests. On May 3rd we hope to put a stop to it, for good! @THLDs #VoteLibDem https://t.co/YMyTEaJRO7

It’s bad enough walking when it’s raining but our pavements don’t have to be in this state. I’m campaigning to make #StAlbans a more pedestrian-friendly city because #StAlbansDeservesBetter #VoteLibDem pic.twitter.com/2ZbVfXH5KQ

A big vote in #LocalElections2018 for @LibDems would give May more authority to face down the hard Brextremists in her cabinet.
— Tim Walker (@ThatTimWalker) May 3, 2018
Today I will #VoteLibDem in the#LocalElections2018 because the want an #ExitFromBrexit, believe in #SocialCare #ProtectingTheEnvironment and #EqualityAndRespect. They work hard and actually get things done! https://t.co/4uxptlyPnF

I just voted 🗳 you should too! Even if council elections are ostensibly about local issues, it’s a great opportunity to send a message to both Labour and the Tories that you’re unhappy with their pursuit of a hard Brexit #VoteLibDem 🔸🇪🇺🔸🇪🇺🔸
— Jared Jeyaretnam (@jaredjeya) May 3, 2018
Just voted in #LocalElections2018 for my fantastic @TRLibDems team. Please go out today & make sure you cast your vote for anyone but @Conservatives. @theresa_may has to be sent a message that her policies are NOT what the country wants. #ToriesOUTNOW

Thank you to the @48PercentPlus for endorsing myself and my fellow @ChaucerLibDems candidates as the best candidates to oppose Brexit and fight for EU citizens in Chaucer ward #Southwark. Make your 3 votes count on the 3rd May. #LiberalLondon #createacitythatworksforall pic.twitter.com/LPzaeEEpBY

It was an easy choice this morning. I'm voting for the party that wants to keep us firmly in the EU. #VoteLibDem 🇪🇺💛🇪🇺💛🇪🇺💛

Hate #Brexit and what the Tories are doing to the country. Can't follow #Corbyn and weep at the lack of opposition to Brexit from Labour. I will #VoteLibDem. #PollingDay

Do the same: go to your polling station and vote Pauline Pearce for mayor if you want a better Hackney#HackneyElects #LE2018 pic.twitter.com/5GkX7s3Ub8
Good luck Cllr @rodcantrill you deserve to win as the best candidate for and in #Newnham @CambridgeLDs. 🇪🇺 citizens and their supporters should send a strong signal against this damaging and dangerous #Brexit #VoteLibDem pic.twitter.com/5R2Gtyy1bW

@SheffLibDems voted Liberal in Sheffield #LocalElections2018. I didn't feel I could vote Labour this year due to the conduct of the MP for Sheffield Hallam and the national party's inadequate opposition to Tory Hard Brexit.
— Phillip Pickstock (@P_C_Pickstock) May 3, 2018
Thrilling to welcome former US President Barack Obama* to @SheffLibDems' office this afternoon, as we encourage residents to #VoteLibDem.

Got up early to cast my last ever vote before losing my voting rights after #Brexit. Proud moment. Don’t forget to cast yours - it’s a duty and a privilege. #PollingDay #LocalElections2018 pic.twitter.com/S6WEmvKX00

Tomorrow is going to be strange for two reasons; the first being that I get to vote for the first time, the second being that I get to vote for myself. Good luck to all #LibDem candidates up and down the country - hopefully the months of hard work pays off!
— Lewis Ilsley (@Lewis_Ilsley) May 2, 2018
Proud to have voted for a party that backs local communities and will work nationally to secure an #exitfrombrexit #VoteLibDem
— Tim Holyoake (@psychotimmy) May 3, 2018
Please can the people of #Sheffield take into consideration SHEFFIELD in this LOCAL election. Labour have been taking people for granted in Sheffield and that has to change. Think local and not nationally on May 3rd if you want change for Sheffield! #SaveSheffTrees #LibDem

I have many outstanding scientific and medical colleagues from elsewhere in the EU. They work hard in our universities and NHS, and deserve our full support. Vote #LibDem tomorrow to send a message to the two main parties that we won’t let #Brexit divide us from our neighbours
