Rural Democracy

All over the country they were voting yesterday. I took the chance to get a picture of the official looking Polling Station poster that springs out of the vaults at the town hall each time a vote is due.

I suspect that it may be illegal to photograph these items under some ancient law or perhaps its an offence under the Official Secrets Act. However I managed to sneak in and get away without being unavoidably detained.



One thing I didn't see was voters however...
