Memorandum by The City of York Council
Labour Group (VOT 34)
It is important that the democratic option of
postal voting is maintained as many people are unable to be present
at the polling booth on a particular day due to various important
reasons and postal voting avoids the disenfranchisement of these
electors.
The security of postal voting could be improved.
There needs to be active scrutiny by independent observers at
all stages of the processing of postal votes; after they have
been mailed by voters to ensure the process is both democratic
and secure. We believe that the individual registration of voters
is essential to this process.
