We have learned this morning that the Mets investigation into fictitious names being put on the electoral role in East London has been prompted by the fact that more than 5,000 last-minute applications to vote have been received.
We also have today a direct quote from the Electoral Commission set out below:
The Electoral Commission condemns political parties for encouraging voters to send postal vote application forms to local campaign offices INSTEAD of town halls.
Parties store information for canvassing purposes, then send the forms on to council election staff who distribute ballot papers to households.
BUT, the practice is open to abuse because application forms include both the signature and birth date of the voter, which could be used by fraudsters to forge ballot papers."
Is North Street that desperate?????
