[QUOTE="Bongodog, post: 7942194, member: 1343"] Two of the issues I have with the voting system are as follows: You used to receive a blank voter registration form to fill in for your address, now the form you receive is prefilled with last years information, this makes it far too easy for a new occupier to claim additional votes, no one at the council is going to ever query names that they have already supplied. The occupier can then easily request postal votes for these names. Postal votes used to be available on request for people who would be away for an election and were valid for that election only. Now once applied for they are valid until either the recipient asks for them to stop or the name is removed from the electoral register. My Mother used to receive a postal vote, she moved into a care home last year. The new occupier will have received a form through the letterbox with her name prefilled in, hopefully they crossed through it, otherwise they will have then got her postal vote as well. [/QUOTE]
