Mrs. Upton explained that the polling station was changed this year to the Forestry Commission's office in Alice Holt Forest, so that it would be more centrally located for Bucks Horn Oak voters, and not situated in a school which would then have to be closed for the day. (BNCI)
Toward the end of the year, we were given a holiday on a Thursday because the school was being used as a polling station for the General Election. (BNCI)
Many disabled people could not travel to the polling station, and few knew beforehand whether it was accessible, or even whether they could get into the booths. (BNCI)
