Protecting Your Vote:

In the judgment given on 4th April Labour Councillors were found guilty of a "massive, systematic and organised fraud" which had made "a mockery" of the election as the Judge put it.

He went on to say that "The system is wide open to fraud and any would-be political fraudster knows that,".

This is why protecting your Vote from Theft or Fraud is now essential, if you have not already read the preceding page with all of the background information on this please click here. If you have read this and you want to Protect Your Vote please follow the advice below, and you must contact your local Council without delay:

If you have asked for a Postal Vote Click Here
If you have Not Asked for a Postal Vote see section immediately below.

You have not asked for a Postal Vote:

  1. Telephone your local Council and ask for the Electoral Returning Officer or that department.
  2. Explain that you are concerned about your vote being stolen and want to check it. You will be asked for your name and address which the Council Officer will then check against the electoral roll and tell you if you are shown as having a Postal Vote or not.
  3. If you are showing as a Postal Vote and have not asked for it see A below, if your vote is showing as a normal 'in person' vote then see B below.
A
(Fraudulent postal vote showing)
B
(normal in person vote unchanged)
  • Write to the Council stating that you have not requested this and it is fraudulent and that you require them to investigate this;
  • Confirm in the letter that you are not to be listed for a postal vote without your providing proof of identity. We would suggest that you set out what this should be and a Passport or photo driving license would be first choice. (This works both ways - if someone later tries to steal your vote they will not be able to and if someone other than yourself wrote to the council to try and deny you your postal vote they would not be able to - as either case would require a proof of identity.)
  • Ask the Council to write back to you by return confirming they have actioned this, have restored your vote in person and are investigating the attempted vote theft.
  • Contact your local Police immediately and report this as an Election Fraud and insist they investigate, take a note of the crime report (URN) the police give you.
  • Do not allow the police to claim that this is an offence they cannot investigate.
  • Please email us with details as we are planning on collating these

IMPORTANT -
Discussions with Electoral Returning Officers.
From some preliminary discussions with Electoral Returning Officers we understand that they are experiencing huge numbers of Postal Vote Applications which is already placing the system under strain. The more Postal Vote applications there are the greater the concerns are about widespread electoral fraud and the more important it is for you to ensure your vote has not been stolen.

As more and more people take the steps we advise to ensure their vote has not been stolen we suspect that the local Councils will be under extreme pressure in dealing with these and that delays in response will occur. The sooner you are able to safeguard your vote the better it will be. Please advise others of this and you can use the email postcard below to send to your address book with a note from yourself.
