Further thoughts about postal vote fraud and the General Election

The first proposal I have put is that a change is needed so that postal votes are counted separately to non-postal votes.

The second proposal is that the same access is given to parties to check application forms as exists for checking DoIs.

The third proposal is to extend the period for Election Petitions to 2 months from 21 days.

The fourth proposal is to require presiding officers to keep a list of voters who attend to vote in person and are found on the absent voters list and to allow them to submit a tendered ballot.

This means that there is time to check the results for fraud. It still, of course, does not deal with "undue influence" and all the other issues.

All of these things can be done with a Statutory Instrument.
