VOTING was today underway at East Cambridgeshire's most homely polling stations.
Villagers in Chettisham, Cambridgeshire, were casting votes in the bedroom of a bungalow.
Retired hairdresser Carmelia Bond, 61, offered her home as a polling station more than 30 years ago after the village hall closed.
Mrs Bond's son Marcus, a 30-year-old painter and decorator, moved out of the room for the day to allow two polling station officials to move in.

"We move the bed out so they can get the polling booth in," said Mrs Bond, 61. "He's left his television in there."
