Residents in Fairmount came out to vote for their preferred political party at Summerway Primary School in the 2019 elections.
The only incident that has been reported is that of a damaged ballot box at Houghton Primary School. The presiding officer, however, mentioned that the issue was quickly resolved.
The box is said to have not been sealed the correct way as there were no ballot papers inside. It has however been marked as spoiled.
