Candidate name missed off ballot papers

A UKIP candidate's name has been missed off ballot papers issued to a polling station in Darlington.

Approximately 89 ballot papers, which had already been issued, were affected at the Harrowgate Hill ward.

Darlington Borough Council said this equates to 0.1% of the total number of ballot papers printed in the borough.

"As soon as the issue was identified, corrected ballot papers were issued to the polling station concerned," a statement on the council website said, adding that voting was continuing "as normal".

Ukip said that it would be considering whether to take action.

Voting in the general and local elections will continue as normal in the borough.
