Sam Younger | The UK elections watchdog, the Electoral Commission, today called for wholesale reform of postal voting in Britain in the wake of abuses of the existing system exposed in the run-up to the general election. Launching his report 'Securing the Vote report in London', Commission chair Sam Younger recommended an end to all-postal ballots, a requirement for individual registration for postal votes and an end to political parties handling application forms, saying that the changes were "fundamental to ensure a secure and reliable choice of voting methods for voters". |
