Birmingham Mail - News - Birmingham News - Birmingham city councillors in call to ban postal voting:
BIRMINGHAM city councillors are expected to call for a ban on postal voting on demand following the latest allegations of postal vote fraud.
Councillors believe the current electoral system of allowing anyone to claim a postal vote suffers from a lack of integrity and security and is wide open to abuse.
It is five years since six city councillors were sacked amid a vote rigging scandal which a High Court judge claimed would ‘shame a banana republic’.
And last month’s Sparkbrook by-election saw 369 postal ballots rejected amid suspicions of fraud.
