with an “absolute shambles” in one borough as voters were turned away from
polling stations given incomplete electoral lists.

Hundreds of residents in Barnet said they were told they could not vote
without their polling card, while some carrying the document said they were
also refused.

Arjun Mittra, a Labour councillor for East Finchley ward, said the
“logistical nightmare” affected every one of the borough’s 155 polling
stations.

“Out of the seven people who came to my polling station in the first 10
minutes, only one was able to vote,” he told *The Independent*.
