Making it up as you go along Realist, it is impossible to vote twice.
Then why would the Electoral Commission feel obliged to say this:-
"However, it is an offence to vote twice in the same type of election, such as in a UK general election. Doing this could result in a fine of up to £5,000."
It shouldn't be possible and the young people who claim it haven't IMO done anything deliberately wrong, if the system is such that they can accidentally do it then it's not really fit for purpose !

Don't see how you could vote twice and not know it!
They may not have read the rules....but that's their problem.
It'll be interesting to see how the "who did it" analysis turns out.

who is going to check? voting is secret, or supposed to be.
Say one home is in Surrey and another in Cornwall and both claimed to be a main residence I would say impossible to cross check
Maybe with electronic voting a possibility but not the way it is done now
I must be a cynic!
I think that every vote will be analysed right down to where you live, what you do, and how much you have.
