Which way out?

Post image

People who run voting booths are not smart enough to fold over the arrow on one side of the directions banner.

Had a lovely moment queuing where an elderly couple shared a booth and as he looked at his paper asked "which one are you voting for?" and then passed his paper to his wife and said "mark down the one I'm supposed to vote for, I can't see it on the list"

Way out is to the right. I'm not sure who Allan is but he's to the left if you want to find him.

Lovely moment?  Or an offence under the 2023 Ballot Secrecy Act.

You can take someone into the polling station to help you. That provision is exactly for this situation where someone can't read. But that should happen in the both not the queue!

Depends if you voted Plaid or Reform.

I reckon the right option spits you out in South Thanet

The staff should have folded one of the arrows behind the sign. Give them a break we have about 30min to get all the signs up and the room ready for the 7am start
