Polling station vs. Polling place

It seems a bit odd to have "polling station" as the article title while the first sentence explains that the better part of the English speaking world commonly calls it a"polling place." I would propose a name change. --Electiontechnology (talk) 04:54, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with this. Actually, the lead is slightly misleading: while "polling station" is the most common term in the UK as a whole, in Scotland the usual phrase is "polling place". 81.159.58.45 (talk) 23:41, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
