A LOCAL election candidate has claimed that he could lose votes because his picture is unrecognisable on ballot papers.

Kelly left in the dark over ballot paper picture

Cllr Pat “Bonnar” Kelly is hoping to be re-elected to Bantry Town Council, but says he’s concerned that voters won’t recognise his picture because it’s so dark.

In particular he says people who can’t read would be put at a disadvantage because if they didn’t recognise his name on the ballot they certainly wouldn’t recognise his face, and they might vote for somebody else.
