During Canadian Federal Elections, poll workers have been known to direct husbands and wives to booths at opposing ends of the room, so as ensure spouses are not ‘monitored’ by each other. I have worked one once and was told by the husband “I just want to make sure she doesn’t make a mistake.” I told him that she was probably old enough to manage to make an ‘X’ on her own. She looked down as she smiled. He wandered off grumbling. I didn’t care how he reacted.
