only use pen on voting forms
For many years in each election that is held in the UK as a whole the ballot boxes on each individual form are filled with a cross, this cross is normally completed using a pencil.
So as to make sure the record of a vote is made permanent and is not open to deletion either accidentally or deliberately i propose the use of pens only be used to complete a chosen vote.
The Uk has one of the fairest methods of voting in the world but continuing the use of a pencil to mark a vote should be ended in favour of using a pen. This will help eliminate the fear of potential voting irregularities.
