UK election: statement on the thousands of voters turned away

State­ment from the UK Elect­oral Com­mis­sion:

There should have been suf­fi­cient resources alloc­ated to ensure that every­one who wished to vote was able to do so.

The Elect­oral Com­mis­sion will be under­tak­ing a thor­ough review of what has happened in those con­stitu­en­cies where people have been unable to vote.

We would like to hear dir­ectly from voters on their exper­i­ences to help in our review. Please email us at info@electoralcommission.org.uk.

When sub­mit­ting inform­a­tion to us, it would be help­ful if you could include the fol­low­ing if possible:

  • The name of the con­stitu­ency you voted in
  • The time you arrived at your polling station
  • The loc­a­tion of your polling station
  • Any prob­lems you encountered when try­ing to cast your vote

Update: The Guard­ian has a map with a break­down of all the prob­lems that occurred around the coun­try on polling day.
