Is it illegal to take photos at polling stations ?

I thought it wasn’t allowed but seen loads of people doing it and posting the pics on fb etc

Only if you're inside I think.

Apparently not, however it is illegal to show how anybody else is voting so you have to be very careful nobody else is in the picture (according to the BBC)

as long as it doesnt show the ballot paper I think its fine

Oh ok, thanks
