Original Note:
Voter fraud is extremely rare in the UK with only nine convictions made since 2018. The Electoral Commission oversees the running of local by-elections and several safeguards are in place to prevent postal fraud. A mechanism exists for reporting suspected voter fraud. https://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/CBP-7419/CBP-7419.pdf https://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/ https://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/voting-and-elections/report-electoral-fraud
