Postal Votes - 'Dangerous Levity.'

Electoral Commission 'dangerous levity'

UKIP Deputy Leader Paul Nuttall has warned that the Electoral Commission is exhibiting dangerous levity when it comes to concerns raised over post vote fraud. A judge, who tries cases of electoral fraud, has warned that the postal vote system in the UK was vulnerable to fraud on an ‘industrial scale.’ However the Electoral Commission has said it would not scrap the system. 

“Here you have the independent body set up to ensure elections in this country are open, democratic and clean and yet when faced with serious concerns over vote rigging and criminal electioneering, they have essentially just turned their backs on the problem,” said Mr Nuttall, North West MEP.
