رفعت خوف من إحتيال واسع انتشار في الإنتخابات محلّية في شهر ماي كان بالأمس بعد قاضية يقال أنّ القواعد لاقتراع سرّيّ بريديّة كانوا حتميّا ذو نقائص.

أسابيع صحيحة قبل أن أكثر من اثنان توقّعت [ميلّيون بيوبل] أن يقترع بالبريد في مجلس محلّية وإنتخابات بلديّة, ريتشارد [موري], [قك], قالوا أنّ بريديّة يقترع على طلب كان "قاتلة إلى العملية ديموقراطيّة".

He said that the current system made “wholesale electoral fraud both easy and profitable” and accused politicians of failing to act after past scandals. He urged sweeping reforms to electoral law dealing with corruption.

أتى تعليقاته بما أنّ هو أسّس [كونسلّور] محافظة مذنبة من إقتراع لازم ب يستعمل اقتراع سرّيّ بريديّة في الاسم المئات من "شبح ظلّ مقترعات" [فرودولنتلي] يضاف إلى السجل انتخابيّة. Eshaq Khan was stripped of his council seat in Slough, Berkshire, and banned from holding office for five years after being found guilty of corrupt practices.

The case highlighted how new checks designed to stamp out the misuse of postal ballots were by-passed by Khan’s team within a year of their introduction, enabling him to gain a marginal seat from Labour last year.

Mr Mawrey, in his judgment on the Slough case, concluded: "هناك ما من سبب أن يفترض أنّ هذا يعزل حادث. Roll-stuffing [packing the electoral roll with fictitious voters] is childishly simple to commit and very difficult to detect. أن يتجاهل الاحتمال أنّ هو واسع انتشار, بشكل خاصّ في إنتخابات محلّية, سياسة أنّ حتّى نعامة [دسبيز]."

الحالة حيرة إلى دايفيد [كمرون] كالحالة جدّيّة أكثر من إقتراع لازم يتضمّن مرشح محافظة. But Mr Mawrey criticised all Britain’s main political parties for failing to introduce adequate checks after widespread electoral abuse involving postal ballots was discovered during local elections at Birmingham in 2004.

إنتخاب ازداد رؤساء ليل متأخّرة طلباتهم لقانون متينة أن يقمط إلى أسفل على يقترع إحتيال بعد [سلوو] حكم.

عجّل العمولة انتخابيّة الحكومة أن يبالي دعواته أن يقدّم تسجيل فرديّة لكلّ مقترعات مماثلة إلى الخطة في [نورثرن-يرلند] للسنون [بست فو].

“We have been saying since 2003 that the current system of voter registration in Great Britain is not sufficiently secure and that a system of individual voter registration is needed to provide a secure foundation for both registration and postal voting,” a spokesman for the commission said yesterday.

The chief safeguard included in the Electoral Registration Act 2006 was to require people voting by post to sign a form and write their date of birth when returning their ballot paper, to be checked against the signature on their original request.

But the judge attacked the move as inadequate, saying council staff were untrained to match signatures and computers were unreliable, meaning bogus ballots still slipped through and some genuine votes were rejected.

Under individual registration all members of a household eligible to vote have to provide two sets of identification such as a signature and date of birth at the time they sign on to the electoral register. These have to match identifiers for both postal votes and those put in ballot boxes.

The Electoral Commission has sent 55,000 guides to “bobbies on the beat” giving the police advice on how to detect and prevent fraud. A fuller guide is being distributed to police chiefs and election officers next week.
