VOTERS have reported being turned away from polling stations in Liverpool.

The disgruntled residents were told to come back later in the Wavertree constituency because officials had run out of ballot papers at polling booths in Dunbabin Road, Childwall and Dovedale Primary School.

It appears Liverpool council had underestimated the turnout for the hotly contested seat.

A fierce pre-election campaign has been waged between Liberal Democrats candidate Colin Eldridge who wants to win the seat from Labour’s Luciana Berger.
