@madlife1000 Hi, tellers are allowed outside polling stations but must not enter. They can ask for voters' elector numbers to record the number of people who have voted, but mustn't demand any information.

If you have concerns about a teller's behaviour, report this to the station staff.

@Lumen_Expose @ChrissieGrech @reformparty_uk Tellers aren't polling station staff, they have no legal status. They can wear a party rosette or badge, but can't display any other campaign material for or against any particular party or candidate.

If you're concerned about a teller's behaviour, please report it to the staff.

@Lumen_Expose @ChrissieGrech @reformparty_uk Hi, tellers are allowed outside polling stations but they must not attempt to turn people away or ask to see a voter's ID.

If you have concerns about a teller's behaviour, please report this to the polling station's Presiding Officer or the Returning Officer.

@JohnMcHugh1878 @CllrLukeEvans [2/2] It is against the law to publish exit polls whilst polls are open. Exit polls are based on information given by voters about how they voted after they have voted. This is not the same as voting intentions. If this was breached it would be a matter for the police.

@JohnMcHugh1878 @CllrLukeEvans [1/2] Hi John. Opinion polls based on how people intend to vote don't fall under electoral law.
