Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Henley (Conservative). It was answered on Tuesday, 19 January 2010.
General Election: Electoral Malpractice
- Question
- My Lords, in an earlier answer, the noble Lord told us that personation was a major problem in electoral fraud. Is he really saying that it is a worse problem than the fraud that we have in postal voting?
- Answer
-
The number of cases where fraud is alleged in elections is incredibly small, and was even smaller in 2009 than in previous years. Of that very small number of complaints made, a considerable proportion was about personation.
