Postal votes rocket by 389.5%

Apr 21 2005

By Rachel Whybrow


THE number of postal votes requested in Reading, Wokingham and West Berkshire for next month's General Election has rocketed by 389.53%, amid fears of a poll-rigging scandal.

Reading Borough Council applications have shot up by 357.4% since 2001, in Wokingham the increase is 311.2% and a massive 500% in West Berkshire.

The figures emerged in a week when it was revealed a Thames Valley Police report to the Electoral Commission warned that, by escaping prosecution, the people behind last June's voting irregularities in Reading's Redlands ward will be considered "untouchables".

The commission has issued more guidance in the wake of the Birmingham election scandal but misgivings are being expressed nationally and this week the Association of Chief Police Officers, senior civil servants, and returning officers met in Whitehall to discuss the controversy.

Alarm bells rang in Reading after last year's council elections when officials tracked a sharp rise in the number of postal vote registrations in a two-week period.

Police investigations found only two out of 46 applications were genuine, but officers met a wall of silence which prevented them collecting sufficient evidence to prosecute.

Detectives based at Loddon Valley police station carried out the inquiry and their report sent to the Electoral Commission on February 23 said: "There is nothing to suggest this investigation has revealed the tip of the iceberg, however there is no evidence to the contrary.

"My personal fear is as a result of there being no prosecution case, the perpetrators of this fraud will confidently enter the next election campaign with even more vigour and a feeling of untouchability."

Just did my local and national postal votes. Good stuff because I will be in Egypt on the day. However Labour seem to have postal vote factories in industrial units. Also due to gerymandering it takes far more votes to get a Conservative MP than a Labour one. We're just like Zimbabwe, even down to the manic, deluded leader who enriches his cronies.

Can't wait for all the topics to start on here when everyone finds out that Labour have won. Again.

'Oh well, this country is going down the drain everyone!' or 'four moron years everyone' or simply, 'we're doomed!'

We've not had ours through yet.

Are you allowed to go to a polling station even if you are getting postal votes?

ie, take your postal vote with you to the polling station and do a swap as it were?

Why not do both, like all the Labia supporters?

We moved almost exactly a year ago. Paying our council tax, but no voting cards.

Do we just turn up and vote or what?

I think if you get in touch with your chosen local MP (blue hopefully!) they will be able to sort it for you.

If you're intending to vote Labour, please ignore my posting

Blimey! Perhaps certain wards should not allow postal voting...
