We have a General Election on Thursday and there was a quiz about elections in the newspaper today. The answers were also supplied.

One of the questions was:
Which one of these are voters not allowed to do while in a polling station?
A. Bring a dog
B. Wear a rosette
C. Listen to music with headphones
D. Be drunk

What do you think the answer is?

Yes, the correct answer is B. Only candidates and their agents can wear a rosette and it must be plain. I didn't know that, I thought it was going to be D!

A C and D are allowed as long as they do not disturb anyone else.

Taking selfies is not allowed either, because of the potential for revealing how someone else has voted, which is illegal.
