Petition Action

Publish the postal vote count separately at elections and referendums.

Petition Details

Given widespread concerns about the potential for electoral fraud being easier to perpetrate through postal voting than 'in-person' voting, we propose that postal votes be counted separately from the 'in-person' vote and the numbers for each count be published when the results are declared.

Additional Information

Electoral fraud is much easier to perpetrate through postal voting than voting in person as the opportunities for personation offences are multiplied significantly compared to where a person needs to present themselves at a polling station.

If there is significant variance between the two counts, any irregularities can be more easily highlighted and if necessary, investigated.
