Cillian Sherlock, PATaoiseach Leo Varadkar did not break electoral rules by filming a campaign video outside his local polling station, his party has said. The video was filmed around the corner from the entrance to the polling station. The Electoral Act 1992 and Referendum Act 1994 states that a person shall not interfere with, obstruct, impede electors within 100 metres of a polling station. Asked about the campaign video, a spokesperson for Fine Gael said: “No breach of the Electoral Act took place. The Taoiseach did not obstruct, interfere or induce any electors in the vicinity of the polling station.”
