Had to very awkwardly and very firmly tell a campaigner at my local to "leave me alone", they actually followed me through the gate attempting to shove pamphlets and crap at me.
I'm pretty sure they aren't supposed to do that. They're supposed to stay in designated areas and only offer pamphlets. They aren't supposed to coerce voters.
We had a guy camping at the end of the line handing out pamphlets to people joining the queue. Pretty sure he wasn't supposed to be there, either.
They aren't, there's a distancing rule, but with no one there to enforce it they get a bit rabid.
