In the Netherlands, you can go to any polling station in your town, so I chose the brewpub that's a converted church, because it felt like something out of Hogarth. And yes, they were serving.
That someone in the British voting system realized that this question needed to be asked and put on an official website is one of the most British things ever.
It was historically a whole thing I think. Before private booth, landlords and factory owners would get people too drunk to vote against them, or drunk enough to vote for anyone.

In fact, most messages would be improved with this approach!
