Yeah and there's postal votes too. These people have no excuse in my opinion, if you begin keeping it open for people in Manchester you have to keep it open for everyone elsewhere to, if you didn't that actually would be unfair. Considering there's 42,000 polling stations it would be difficult to do.

They have to get the votes to the voting centres asap and remember people are counting all through the early hours and do want to get home. Originally Posted by Saurav.

BBC just said "Manchester Withington 200 people where turned away".
They could have easily left it open for another 1 hour.

Don't think they should leave them open for any longer, but I think it was just described as "third world voting". Should have been planned and executed more effectively.

I don't see what's wrong with the system. If it was moved to 11pm across the nation they'd still be people leaving it a bit late and being turned away. It will always happen. Originally Posted by Garion

They announced that one polling station remained open for a further half hour. This is where it starts getting unfair
