I am eligible and registered to vote in two places which I divide my time between

Can I vote for the parliamentary election in place A, and in the local council election in place B, on the same day? Or is this considered fraud as I am issued with two sets of ballot papers?

Simple question but can't seem to find the answer anywhere online.

Cheers

You can vote in all the local elections legally, but parliamentry only one place.

SWIM voted in in two general election constitutencies in 2005, they don't actually check...
