When the voting cards arrive Sharon is disappointed when Tracey reminds her that she didn't register and so can not vote.
Tracey has paid Darryl's poll tax, despite him being in prison. He goes mad when she tells him that she has paid it for him. Sharon wants his vote, but Darryl says if she wants it, she can pay the £350 for it.
Dorien tells Tracey she must vote Green and derides Sharon for being Labour.
Sharon goes canvassing and selling merchandise in the hope of raising the £350.
Dorien's sudden fondness for the Green party becomes apparent, she's only doing it to get a man.
Sharon has picked up a consignment of secuirty bears. Teddy bears that have alarms inside. It impresses the local Conservative candidate when he comes canvassing.
After arguing Sharon goes back to her old flat, to find that Stan has done away with her bed, couch and most of her belongings. She soon goes back to Chigwell.
At the polling station when Sharon hands Darryl's card in and is questioned as to why it says Mr, she tells them that she is halfway through a sex change operation.
As the results come in the three women reveal that they all voted Labour.
