One complaint branded Union flag bunting at a primary school 'intimidating'
The Electoral Office is to review policies on flags in polling stations following complaints over Union and GAA flags on display during voting in recent elections.
They said they have "limited powers outside" polling stations but they ask parties not to place election materials or flags on school railings and lampposts within the curtilage of the venue. The council election was held in the weeks following King Charles' coronation, which some communities marked by displaying Union flags.
