With Internet voting starting on 26 April at 6.00 a.m., I wanted to claim to have gone into an early lead in the election for Wellington Ward by casting my vote when Rushmoor's iVOTE site opened.
However, I found there were two errors on the Internet ballot paper: the Conservative Party candidate had the Labour Party logo beside his name and was described as the "Conservation Party" candidate.
I therefore contacted Rushmoor's Electoral Registration Officer immediately. As a result, the problem was resolved by 06.56 a.m., following contact with the suppliers. In addition, Rushmoor accessed the system and confirmed that only one vote had been cast in Wellington Ward prior to the correction. They had no idea who the voter was or for whom they voted. However, as my vote was recorded at 06.41 a.m., I could confirm that no one was affected adversely - and that I voted for myself!

Rushmoor also confirmed that no other wards were affected - so all was saved by Rushmoor's prompt action.

And this wouldn't have been done on purpose I assume? Pull the other one.

Yet another Labour idea to make voting less secure, and more vulnerable to error and outright fraud.
The only truly safe, democratic system is one where every citizen who wants to vote, has to go to the polling station and deposit their ballot, with exceptions to this rule limited to absolutely genuine cases such as the bed-ridden, and Armed Forces abroad.
Of course, Labour would thereby lose probably hundreds of thousands of votes.
