Thousands are using the Twitter hashtag #Usepens to urge voters not to use the pencils provided in polling booths up and down Britain.
There are fears votes could be rubbed out and replaced.
The Electoral Commission has confirmed both pens and pencil markings are accepted, and it was down to individual choice.
But in one polling station in Chichester police stopped a member of the public from lending pens to all voters, claiming a Remain campaigner called the officers.
She wrote: “Police came to Chichester polling station called by REMAIN side to stop me lending my PEN to all voters. #fraud.”
She later said it was someone at the Chichester polling station.

LMAO I saw this on Twitter, but it was a PSCO not the actual police that turned up; and apparently the polling booth themselves phoned them not Remain voters

Yep, the strongly pro-Brexit Express getting the excuses in early, we'll have a few days of this to look forward to assuming all the rumours of Remain winning are true, the Express will be full of nonsensical stories about rigging and fixing tomorrow I bet

Wait, I thought there was no exit poll? How do we know who won already?
Perhaps a suspicion that handing out pens only to leave voters is technically breaking the law. Whether that works if the pens are to be returned afterwards I don't know.
