Editing Polling station (section)

===Openness and centralisation===
If voters are allowed to vote at any of a number of different locations in the county or district etc., this will increase voter turnout.<ref name="Matter"/> Sometimes, a voter's most convenient voting location is near his or her workplace, not necessarily the closest to their residence.<ref name="Matter"/> Having a more open policy of allowing multiple possible locations for a person to vote would encourage those individuals who cannot feasibly commute back and forth from work to vote, assuming the day of election is not a mandatory day off.<ref name="Matter"/> Having a large conspicuous polling location will ensure that the voters know where they are supposed to vote.<ref name="Matter"/> This will cut down on unnecessary signage and eliminate clutter and confusion.<ref name="Matter"/>
