Rumours are reaching me that some registered voters in Haywards Heath were turned away from the polling station and not allowed to vote.
Apparently 3 pages of the electoral lists were missed out from the copy given to the staff manning the ballot ......

There is something suspicious when there are a lot of electoral irregularities and a system that is open to fraud and has been found to have been abused in the past and nothing done to solve the problem. I hope that some serious investigation is taking place. However I am disturbed by the electoral commission's remarks about the reasons for some of the problems incurred attributing them to an antiquated voting process when it is patently not the case.
I had not heard that. Get them to put in a complaint.
We keep getting told about the "Victorian voting system" we are using and how this is the cause of the problems on Thursday. Funny how this awful system worked perfectly until NiLieBore "improved" it a few years back.
- Running out of voting slips is nothing to do with the system, it's the numpties running it that are to blame.
- We seemed able to handle much larger turnouts in the 70s and 80s without problem. Again the cause is not the system its the numpties.
- Losing parts of the electoral list, again, is a numpty problem not a systemic one.
I think the Electoral Commission needs to clear out the incompetent heads and senior managers of any area where basic admin and organisational skills failed. "Lessons will be learnt" really isn't an acceptable response to robbing people of their right to cast a vote.
