"It is illegal to vote in more than one location in a general election or in other national polls, such as a referendum.
"It's clearly explained on the poll card. Conviction carries a financial penalty.
"If anyone has evidence of an individual voting twice at the same election, they should report it to the local returning officer and to the police."

The Electoral Commission is investigating "troubling" claims some voters cast more than one ballot at the General Election.
The watchdog said it had not discovered evidence of widespread abuse, but had received more than 1,000 emails from members of the public, as well as 38 letters from MPs, raising the issue.
The watchdog said it was working with police on how to investigate the claims.
