The Risk to elections through inaction

The wrong steps to secure the front door when the back door is wide open.

Government are pushing forward for changes to elections and the process of them.

One of the most contentious changes is the need for voter ID to vote.

The claim it will make elections more secure and less voter fraud etc are all well and good.

However this will further disenfranchise voters and result in even lower turnouts to vote.

This is all while securing the front door while the backdoor is left wide open.

The single biggest risk to vote interfering and fraud is the postal votes system.

The risk to this system with no real security to check who is actually voting using the postal vote is just staggering.

Now I am not saying that I have proof that anyone is going into old peoples homes and filling out the postal votes for them at all.

But the risks are there and wide open to electoral fraud abuse and must be secured.

The second massive issue that needs addressed is voter engagement at elections and the government plans for electoral changes must address this.

One solution would be mandatory voting for all registered voters and automatic voter registration on a unified National electoral register with one vote per person no multi location registrations. 

One Citizen One Vote.
