Election law loophole exposes postal votes to danger of fraud - Times Online:

Election chiefs have called for political parties to be banned from handling postal vote forms as an investigation by The Times exposes major loopholes in guidelines to prevent fraud.

Parties have been encouraging voters to send their postal vote application forms to local political offices instead of to town halls, against advice in the Electoral Commission’s code of conduct.

David Monks, the leader of Britain’s returning officers, condemned the practice yesterday and warned that it could lead to electoral fraud. --->>>
