As for distance to the polling station, it's about three or four miles to the usual local polling station that covers the two or three villages round here Life should consist in at least fifty percent pure waste of time, and the rest doing what you please.
I attended a conference recently that was held in a church and walked in to see posters for the alpha course everywhere. I am extremely uncomfortable with that because it doesn't respect the space of those without religion or with a different religion. To me that would be inappropriate in a polling station, more so than the building itself being a church. Ad astra per aspera
