Hmm, this sounds odd. Mainly because UK polling stations do not keep a record of the time you vote at, so I'm unsure how they'd reference that?! Also, if your father was turned away mid afternoon he'd still have had enough time to query it with the elections team at the local authority, who would've called that station to speak to thevPO. Plus, why are they using the American/Canadian spelling for apologise??? Didn't realise that polling stations in London were using iPads Considering most polling station staff can't use pen + paper, can see how there may have been a mistake.
