It is fine for any member who wants to go to vote. There is no requirement to stay.

My next question relates to a scenario where a person's home has been used by persons on the way to a theatre of war. For example, if a group of belligerents or military stop at a house and avail of hospitality and overnight accommodation and clearly are carrying weapons and continue on to the theatre of war, could that family, if liable to prosecution, offer neutrality as a defence?
