To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what analysis his Department has undertaken on susceptibility to electoral fraud of local and national electoral processes.
The Government believes that electoral fraud is unacceptable on any level. In December last year, the Government published its response to Sir Eric Pickles’ review of electoral fraud, Securing the ballot.
The Government’s response set out the mechanisms by which each of Sir Eric’s recommendations can be implemented, including through primary legislation, secondary legislation, or through changes to guidance.
The Government provides support to Returning Officers, who have responsibility for ensuring the integrity of 2017 polls, and works closely with the Electoral Commission and the National Police Chiefs’ Council, with a view to preventing electoral fraud.
