Coun Michelle Thomas says some voters complained that they were asked to give their name and address — which they were not obliged to give because polling cards were not being used at the election.
Said Coun Thomas: "I knew that I did not have to
give my name and address, but there were some people voting for the first time who thought it was part of the procedure."
Newly-elected Coun Rachel Madden said that she would speak to the Liberal Democrats' campaigns committee — who were asking people for their details at the by-election on Thursday — to make sure they knew that people did not have to disclose this information.
She told the meeting: "I will take this back to the committee and remind them."
The council also agreed to write a letter to the Liberal Democrats.
