 To vote, voters must go to the polling stations assigned to them.Applying for a ballot paper or voting in the name of someone else, or attempting to vote more than once, amounts to the offence of personation.If a person claiming to be a voter named in the electoral register turns up at a polling station after someone also claiming to be that voter has already voted, the second person is permitted to cast what is called a "tendered vote" using a ballot paper of a different colour after taking an oath to confirm his identity.
