Two referrals to the Police
The Electoral Commission has referred an individual to the Police after they claimed to have voted multiple times. It is an offence under section 215 of the Electoral Act 1993 to vote more than once.
The Commission has referred another individual to the Police for apparent breaches of sections 215, 216 and 217 of the Electoral Act for offering to sell their vote.
As these matters are now with the Police, the Electoral Commission will not be commenting further.
