Petition The government should pay schools when the school is used as a polling station.

School used as polling stations are typically shut on the day. Neither the school or parents (child care costs) are compensated. Taxes pay for children to be educated in schools for 5 days a week. School budgets are stretched, the government should pay schools when they are used as polling stations.
