Westward Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 The building is an old Chapel and the lady was sitting in the lobby not under a porch, so the way through to the polling station was an open doorway. It seems pretty borderline because she could partly see in and possibly hear things said in the polling station itself which appears to be a no no, but if anyone's at fault it would be the presiding officer for allowing it.

henry d Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 It's the actual room where the voting takes place that they are not allowed in, we have several other things happening in the same building whilst voting is happening, they prefer to have the whole building if possible.

I noticed she was wearing a Labour rosette so I asked what she was doing. "Just checking off people as they come in" So I said "But you're canvassing for Labour and this is a polling station", So she added that they will ring people who haven't voted by about 7 o'clock. When I said that I couldn't believe they were allowed inside to do that she replied that "It's perfectly normal". In my 50 years or so of voting I've never seen that before. Is there any dirty trick the Marxists haven't tried? I didn't give her my card to check off on her list and nor did the lady behind me. Let them try ringing me this evening and they'll get the facts of life explained to them. Whether she was in or out is debatable but she was still in contravention of the guidelines by wearing a party rosette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubious Taken from rules for tellers - the electoral commission if her rossette had labour on it then she is breaking the rules, she can just wear a red rossette. 1.11 Tellers must not attempt to induce, influence or persuade an elector how or whether to vote. Tellers cannot promote particular candidates or political parties. Their conduct must not give rise to allegations of undue influence, e.g. discussing voting intentions, party affiliations, a candidate’s history, election campaigns, or undertaking any other activity particularly associated with one particular party or candidate. Any queries that relate to the electoral process must be directed to the Presiding Officer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any queries that relate to the electoral process must be directed to the Presiding Officer. Also from the guidelines; Tellers may wear coloured rosettes or a badge of a reasonable size, as this assists electors by making it clear that they are activists and not electoral officials. The rosette/badge may display the name of a candidate and/or an emblem or description; the rosette/badge should not bear a slogan and must not be oversized.

Yes, I agree, which is why when I did it, our MP was very careful to be 'on the right side'. Plain badges with the local association name only were worn.
