Personation?
They'd to close a polling station early one year, an elderly relative wheeled in in her wheelchair to vote. Two people moving her arm over the ballot paper. Presiding Officer intervened, and found that the elderly relative was no longer on this earth.

Wow, not great is it.
It looked more like an error than anything sinister in my example, but you never know.

Worst I've come across.
If someone else went in, without the voting papers, and gave another persons name and address, they've to accept that they're the person they say they are. Second person, giving the same details, raises the question of trying to vote twice.

That was the suggestion from the council guy. He was reading from a script and quizzing him on his identity and if he'd voted here or anywhere else today. Quite embarrassing in a small village.

There's two letters before the number, they show at which station they should vote. Visiting Officer is the first point of contact, but there should be no direct communication between polling station staff at seperate stations.

Right up to 21.55, kept coming, although not many. Biggest numbers in anyone's memory for that station.
