Closed A Change In The Postal Voting System

Closed on

We the undersigned do strongly believe that postal voting should only be available to those whom are disabled and can not physically attend the polling station.

The current postal voting system is wide open to abuse and has in the past been proven so with block vote rigging and brings great distrust in the current system.

Changing the system to only verified disabled that could be very easily be crosschecked with those receiving disability benefits being able to use the postal voting system and remove the ability to abuse the postal voting system.

Postal voting has been shown in recent criminal cases to be a major factor in electoral fraud.

The misuse of postal voting is widespread and leads to the electorate being misrepresented and this needs be rectified at the earliest opportunity.
