NSW election polling centre closes after man dies


A voting centre on the NSW Central Coast had to be temporarily closed after the death of an elderly man.

The man, believed to be in his 80s, had a medical incident at The Entrance campus of Tuggerah Lakes Secondary College about 11.15am on Saturday, NSW Ambulance said.

Police said the death was not suspicious, and the NSW Electoral Commission said the voting centre was closed until paramedics had left the site.

The centre re-opened by early afternoon.
