Electoral fraud advice
They Work For You are offering advice about electoral fraud. They write:
“If you’re as worried as we are about electoral fraud, here’s what you can do:
Don’t vote by post. Turn up: it’s worth it.
Ring your council, ask for the Electoral Register Division, and check you’re name is not on the “marked register” - ie, someone has already voted in your name. Find your council’s number here: www.upmystreet.com/lgc_roles
Finally, if you suspect fraud, email electoral.fraud@guardian.co.uk, who are collecting incidents to report on, and contact the police.”
UPDATE 1 May 2005
The Council of Europe may investigate the British postal voting system and the way it could have been abused in this election.
Eric Jurgens, chairman of the Council of Europe’s Council for Democratic Elections is reported as saying: “Some people will think it strange that after focusing on the countries of Eastern Europe we would look at Britain. But if there are problems then they should be examined. Britain is a mature democracy, and so we would not need observers at ballot stations, we would be sending people to examine your rules.”
