Re: ID to prevent electoral fraud
It's a step in the right direction but let us not forget that the biggest cause of election fraud is the postal vote where one member of a household (usually the patriarch) takes it upon himself to use everyone else's vote in the household to vote the same as him. Postal voting should only be allowed for those who genuinely can't get out of their house to vote due to illness or some other valid reason. Postal voting because you can't be arsed getting to the polling station should be stopped.Re: ID to prevent electoral fraud
I believe this fraud is not simply in one particular area of the population.. Think of the number of students who frequently move house/flat, another moves in to take their place , they have moved into another property that has only just been vacated. The postal votes if applied for must be open to anyone who lives in a particular house at any given time. Students are not the fastest at updating their information , as we all know !Re: ID to prevent electoral fraud
