Closed Change the law to ban local councils from using schools as polling stations.

Closed on

The school my children attend is regularly closed to allow the local council to use it as a polling station. It is not acceptable to allow this to continue happening. Education is being interrupted, this does not set a good example to children or parents when the government allows this to happen.
