| Every few years I get a knock at the door asking me why I'm not on the electoral register at my home. I respond that because I'm on the electoral register where my business premises are ( which is just a 1/2 mile away but in another constituency) The advice has been to register at both locations. But I've checked with the electoral commission every time and this is not supposed to be the case. I can register quite legitamately at my home, or a paternal home, a business location. But only at ONE of them. Yet it takes several calls and proof to prove I do not have to register in two places. But clearly I could. But that for me is ethically wrong and should be sorted Students are allowed to be on the electoral register in two places unless in the same ward or constituency. there is no cross checking region to region it seems. But that does leave it open to voting twice in two places and given the magnitude of mass student votes bad for the permanent residents and businesses as it completely distorts things. It should be vote in one or the other location only at the very least. |
