Police have defused an incident at an Auckland polling station where a voter abused returning officers.

The man was angry at the layout of the voting forms.

It sparked a police call-out to Wesley Intermediate, in Mt Roskill, at three o'clock this afternoon.

Police managed to calm the upset man down and allowed him to vote before sending him packing from the school.
