Election Issues

Posted by Vindico |

I think the new phrase I shall be using is "..couldn't organise a vote in a polling station".

The UKIP call centre has been inundated with phone calls from angry voters saying that UKIP was not on the ballot paper. In fact in some polling stations the ridiculously large ballot paper had been folded into 3 parts and some people have missed the 3rd fold. This has been happening across the country and we have been told some voted for No2EU because they couldn't see UKIP.

Needless to say there will be a complaint. But is it too much to ask that we can run an election properly in 2009

Begs the question: Why fold it in the first place.

It only needs to be folded to get it through the slot in the ballot box after voter has placed their x against their choice.
