Sarah, What you say is of course true. But some people don't read, lose or throw away their polling cards or simply forget to bring them with them when they go to the polling station. If people are used to going to the same place to vote for many years, they assume it hasn't changed. What happened this morning according to an Afghan lady I met is that people turned up at the former Polling Station, saw it wasn't open and then went home. Elderly people won't want to walk any further than they have walked already. The Presiding Officer asked me to put up signs at the Mission Church and this I duly did using marker pen, paper and sellotape kindly provided by her. |
