I'd love support these, but it is somewhat tricky since they are often temporary and in other buildings (at least in the US). Have you seen the polling_station= proposal? It actually has more usage at the moment.
I recommend a multi-part solution:
Add amenity=polling_station as a "Permanent Polling Station" preset
e.g. dedicated ballot boxes, purpose-built facilities
Add a "Polling Station" combo field for polling_station=* to some presets
e.g. schools, places of worship, community centers, public buildings
Add polling_station=* as a "Temporary Polling Station" preset with a low match score
non-permanent stations not combined with other features
I think this would be relatively straightforward and in-line with the wiki. What do you think, @Adamant36 ?
I hadn't thought about temporary polling stations in places like schools. I was mainly concerned with mapping permanent boxes that are placed outside community centers etc. for polling. So, whatever you think works best for that 👍
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dpolling_station has a list of combinations for it. It would be good if there was a separate search term for "ballot box" also.
Thanks
