Election posters featuring hammers and sickles reportedly drawn by children appeared in the window of a north London school-turned polling station.

The drawings, which were accompanied by the message: “the kids aren’t happy”, were spotted at the Tyssen Community Primary School in Stoke Newington.

It is against electoral policy to display partisan material in a polling station, and the police were allegedly called to the incident as people turned up to vote on Thursday.

At least one of the pictures featured the symbol of the hammer and sickle, which is used as the emblem of the former Soviet Union and for international Communism.

Pictures from the scene emerged online that clearly displayed what is written on the posters that are believed to have been created by children at the school.

One read: “We can’t you which way to vote, but the kids aren’t happy. They want CHANGE! Vote with your heart, not by what the papers tell you.”

The Standard has approached the school, but they were unavailable for comment. The Metropolitan Police have also been contacted.

The site manager at the school allegedly agreed to cover up the posters after concerns were raised, according to Guido Fawkes.
