EU citizens living in Britain have been stopped from voting after confusion over a series of registration forms. Prospective voters arrived at polling booths around the country on Thursday only to find that while they were able to vote in local elections, officials would not give them ballot papers for the continent-wide elections.

Although they are not permitted to vote in general elections, people born within the European Union can cast their vote in local and EU elections where they live.

Dozens of people have taken to social media to complain after being refused ballot papers by election officers. One Portuguese councillor said the system was "broken".
 
Now that Manchester is a one party state with the Lib Dems wiped out, will it mean they continue their Blairite reforms such as only providing housing for those who work/volunteer, 'show willing', though I suspect the LD's didn't oppose any of it.

Polish mate of mine was stopped from voting despite being on the register. She was gonna vote for us too :(
 
and lots of stories about how counting is already underway elsewhere. more common in other parts of europe, it seems
Well...anyway...the Dimblfest reconvenes on BBC1 at 11.00 and runs till 3.00am (i think). I really can't remember how the results 'show' panned out last time; presumably the BBC just go round the various regional counts as they declare. I'm figuring that a substantial amount of the counting must have already taken place to get results out in such a confined 'window'.
 
Irish are announcing from 10.15, first Austrian results seem out, tho they may just be an exit poll.

Yes, at least 2 friends of mine had this problem in different London boroughs.

There needs to be something done about this as surely it constitutes electoral manipulation if not fraud. At my polling station in East Sussex 300 metres from the BNP's list leader for SE England constituency's home address 2 out of 3 behind the desk were boneheads and intimidating to put it mildly. Unlike elsewhere in Europe there was zero privacy and no booths just a three sided little metal pillar 6 feet from the desk.

The ballot boxes full of votes have been where for the past 4 days? Add this together with numbered voting papers matched to names and addresses and there's a perfect storm in the making.
