Voting Fraud

EDM number 352 in 2013-14, proposed by George Galloway on 04/07/2013.
Categorised under the topics of Elections and Electoral systems.

That this House notes that voting fraud hugely increased as a result of the introduction of postal voting on demand; further notes that, despite some tightening up of the system, postal voting on demand still renders voters liable to intimidation and the end of the secrecy of the ballot; further notes that individual voter registration will not address this fundamental flaw in postal voting on demand but will lead to many less well-off and less-educated voters falling off the register; believes that individual voter registration will lead to a serious decline in voter registration and should be abandoned; and further believes that it is postal voting on demand which is undermining the integrity of the electoral system, that there is no evidence it increases overall turnout and that it should be abandoned.

This motion has been signed by a total of 6 MPs.
