LONDON mayoral candidate Sophie Walker made a formal complaint yesterday after spectacular bungling by Barnet Council meant many voters were turned away from morning polling.
The Women’s Equality Party candidate registered a complaint with the council and the London Assembly when it emerged that many names were missing from electoral registers across Barnet and that residents had been prevented from voting.
The council apologised and said that all the registers had been updated by 10am allowing people to vote as normal.
