The police were called to a polling station in Yeovil this evening when teenagers arrived expecting their usual youth club.
Milford Youth Club couldn’t take place tonight but it seems not all the young people had been told it was off - or took kindly to the news when they arrived.
No arrests or further action taken though!
It's been likened to "Notting Hill with wellies", external but Stroud will be one to watch closely tonight.
At the last general election in 2017, Stroud secured a narrow Labour majority of 1.1%, with just 687 votes separating David Drew from the Conservative candidate, Neil Carmichael.
It has historically been a battleground between the two major parties.
It is a Tory target seats this time, and Siobhan Baillie will be looking to regain it for the Conservatives.
This year, as part of the national pact between the Greens and the Lib Dems, the local Lib Dem candidate has withdrawn.

Swindon North Labour candidate Kate Linnegar said: “I’m very disappointed.
"I’m going to go home and have a large rest and sort out my house as I’ve been doing 10 hours a day door knocking.
"We’ve spoken to over 5,000 people and some of those people told me they need a Labour government.
"So I’m very disappointed. I am devastated.”

If a party wins in 326 constituencies - that's just over half the number of seats in the House of Commons - it will have gained a majority.
In practice, slightly fewer seats are needed. That's because the Speaker of the House (currently Labour's Sir Lindsay Hoyle) remains neutral, and Sinn Fein MPs have a long-standing tradition of not taking their seats.
If a party has a majority, its leader will head to Buckingham Palace to ask the Queen's permission to form a new government on Friday.
Cheltenham's Labour candidate, George Penny, says: "It's obvious Labour needs to take some to consider and think about where we go from here.
"Jeremy Corbyn will do what's best for the party.
"But I'm energised to start campaigning on Monday for a Labour majority in 2024 to hold the Conservative government to as full account as we can as an effective opposition."
Robert Buckland, whose Swindon South seat is more marginal than the Swindon North seat just won by his Tory colleague Justin Tomlinson, says he is feeling quietly confident.
Talking to Andrew Neil on BBC One he said he wanted to wait a little longer before making any predictions.
"They are opening the ballot boxes now so I'm not going to count my chickens," he said.
"But it looks like an encouraging start in south Swindon."
Image source, Chris Buet/GeographAt the last election Wells constituents voted blue, with a 12.5% majority and a 4% swing to the Conservatives. But there were also 4.9% and 5.1% swings respectively to the Lib Dems and Labour. There was a 73.8% turnout to vote.
It had been billed –by the Independent, external- as “the seat that would measure the Lib Dem revival”.
In the EU Referendum locally 53.63% voted Leave, 46.37% Remain.
By far the largest age groups here are the 65s+, at more than 25%. 14.2% of the population are aged 55-65.
But 16% of the population are aged 16-35 – a key voter target group.
Wiltshire’s only independent candidate, King Arthur Pendragon, arrives for the Salisbury count.
Exit polls suggest a big defeat for Labour in the general election and a majority for the Conservatives.
Some are blaming Jeremy Corbyn's leadership.
Bristol’s Labour Mayor Marvin Rees said: “I’ve always supported Jeremy. There’s no secret, no shame.
"We stood shoulder to shoulder the other day and he’s been very supportive of me as a human being.
"It’s not all about one person.”
Swindon South looks set to be the next West seat to be called.
Reporters at the scene say verification is ongoing with the count up next.

Declaration in Swindon North
This is the moment it was confirmed Justin Tomlinson had held Swindon North for the Conservatives.
Turnout there was 67.15%.
BBC reporter Lee Madan says counting is running an hour behind in his part of Somerset.
They are now expecting declarations at 2.30am for Yeovil, 3.30am for Somerton and Frome.
All the ballot boxes are back for counting in North Wiltshire - except one. The woman carrying it fell over in the rain while taking it to her car.
She's been taken to hospital and the police are on the way to retrieve the box and take it to the count in Chippenham.
Members of the Bristol City Youth Council are at the Bristol East count to see how it all works.
The count is taking place at City Academy in Redfield.
Youth council member, Alistair Wall, said: “It’s a fascinating insight seeing democracy in action. We want to make sure young people are involved in democracy in any way possible”.
Stephen Davies and Nigel Cooper are starting to believe things may go their way
The Leader of the Conservative group at Stroud District Council, Stephen Davies, said: "Although it looks positive nationally for us, this is Stroud, so we never know."
Deputy Leader, Nigel Cooper, said his son had texted him the exit poll for the seat, showing a likely Conservative gain, but he hadn't been sure whether it was a joke.
"I'm cautiously optimistic now."
Conservative candidate, Siobhan Baillie, has yet to arrive at the count but is "expected to arrive at some point."
Robert Buckland, left, and Justin Tomlinson held onto their seats in the 2017 general election
With the Conservatives holding Swindon North with an increased majority, thoughts now turn to the town's other constituency - Swindon South.
While things didn't go to plan for Theresa May in the 2017 General Election, the Tories did hold on in the constituency, with Robert Buckland seeing off the challenge of Labour's Sarah Church.
The indications from Swindon's first result, with Justin Tomlinson earning 32,584 votes compared to Labour's Kate Linnegar's 16,413, will give the Conservative supporters of the town being all blue.
