Hundreds of voters in the north London borough of Barnet are being "turned away" from polling stations over a major administrative error.
Barnet residents, who visited stations on Thursday morning to $4$4, were instructed to come back later in the day as they were not on the polling lists.
The error relates to the polling lists being issued incorrectly, according to local newspaper the $4, and has affected all of Barnet's 90 polling stations.
Affected residents were furious, with many expressing their anger on social media.

Mittra said: "Out of the seven people who came to my polling station in the first 10 minutes, only one was able to vote. They were very angry - I had one lady who was crying because she was so upset."
He added: "She had come at 7 a.m. to vote because she was going away for the day - she said she was disenfranchised. It's a disgrace."
We are aware of problems with voting registers at our polling stations. This being resolved. Please take voting cards with you.
