Voters warned not to take selfies inside polling stations

Photos of postal votes are perfectly legal, however, since you won’t be in a polling station with them.

Yesterday key campaigners in the debate spent the day criss-crossing the United Kingdom in a last-minute scrabble for votes, which saw Labour MP for Hove and Portslade, Peter Kyle come to Oakridge as part of his South East tour.

So as people across Britain braced the rain and headed out to vote today, they took to social media to post pictures of their furry friends with the hashtag #dogsatpollingstations.

Polls open at 06:00 GMT and close at 21:00 GMT.

Voters will be instructed to put a cross in the box for their preferred outcome – “Remain a member of the European Union” or “Leave the European Union”.

The EU referendum polling day is here and hopefully you will have decided which way you are going to vote.

Here’s a reminder of how the BBC reports European Union referendum polling day.

The Electoral Commission has warned people against using their camera phones inside polling station amid fears it could breach secrecy requirements.

“Remember our advice is – DON’T take selfies in polling stations”.

“Anyone who wants to take a selfie can do this outside the polling station”.

Your poll card will tell you the location of your polling station, and you will find more information on how to take part at www.aboutmyvote.co.uk.

The Electoral Commission first warned voters against taking selfies in 2014 during the local elections and repeated the advice at last year’s general election.
