Just voted - not to worry, when you're handed the folded paper, it falls open, and UKIP is visible. It's more the independents that are obscured. But if you're seeking your candidate, you'll see them.
Advise people to shake the paper open. That works.

Don't know what they did - most of the folders are probably just doing it without malice but some of them are doing it deliberately, as the person who phoned to complain about ballot paper with just UKIP folder over can confirm.

This is a deliberate attempt by the treacherous snouts-in-the-trough Lib/Lab/Con to damage UKIP's chances of winning seats in the EU Elections.

If the Lib/Lab/Con think we will do well, things will get a lot worse than this.

How low are they willing to sink to damage UKIP's electoral chances

These people who couldn't unfold a ballot paper, what did they do in the end? Did they vote for another party, or leave without voting? Did they ask an official at the polling station to help them? You're allowed to help a voter identify a party they wish to vote for, on the ballot paper. As long as you don't tell the voter which party to choose. I think these people should be interviewed before a legal challenge as you don't want the party to look silly.
If they left without voting, they can return and cast their vote.

I'm more concerned about electronic counting. What effect does folding the ballot paper have on the machine's ability to read a mark on the paper?
