Restrict the use of postal voting to prevent fraud.
Recent criminal prosecutions for postal voting fraud prove that democracy is under threat. It is far too easy to abuse the postal voting system. It needs to be reformed, its use should be restricted to the following:
Pensioners
The registered disabled
Those who are abroad or hospitalised
Three jailed over rigged election
