"Head to the polling station in the morning and when you get there, they will give you the ballot paper which is like this (showing a sample to the women). When you get one, look for when LP (Labour Party) is written and beside it is our logo - father, mother and child.
Because there would not be photos of the candidates, what you'll be looking out for is the logo of the Labour Party."
