A school being used as a polling station was closed after a man climbed on to its roof and began hurling tiles.
Police negotiators arrived after the 39-year-old scaled Wensley Fold Primary School in Blackburn at about 20:30 BST on Thursday.
The incident was not believed to be politically-motivated, Lancashire Police said.
