Police to guard polling booths
POLICE officers will be stationed outside every polling station in Tower Hamlets following repeated allegations of electoral fraud and voter intimidation in the borough.
The extraordinary measures for tomorrow’s mayoral election come as the police probe allegations of vote rigging in a council by-election.
“In past elections there have been dozens of people mobbing the entrances of polling stations, preventing the free access of people wishing to cast their vote,” said Tory councillor Peter Golds.
