The Electoral Commission has a reputation for high standards so you are right to say they are known for being accurate and correct and therefore we should trust their conclusion that voter fraud is not significant and that the machinery of our democracy is sound. Data on voting methods is ultimately put into the public domain on a ward level so it would be very easy to identify fraud if it was 'rife'. You don't explain why you think postal voting is particular vulnerable to fraud but that could be because you have never  gone through the process. When you apply there is a registration check which verifies the details against the electoral register and cross checks the signature you gave when you registered to vote. Any doubts about the authenticity means the application will be rejected even if it is just a minor discrepancy in the details provided. Each postal vote is issued with a unique identifier, making it easier to track and verify votes. In some instances, the voter's signature on the security statement must be witnessed by another person, adding an extra layer of verification. Upon receipt, postal votes are checked for the correct details and any irregularities. Votes with mismatched information or missing elements are not counted. Election officials receive training to recognize and handle suspicious activities and potential fraud. Of course the system doesn't totally preclude the chances of fraud but neither does in person voting, however a lot of effort would go into fraudulently casting a single vote and doing it on a large scale would be close to impossible. Questioning the integrity of our democratic processes without any actual evidence is profoundly unpatriotic as you are pushing a line of argument that Putin and his shills are currently trying to get people to believe. Check your facts before parroting what the enemies of this country are telling you.
