Voter Fraud

Your vote is yours alone. In any election in the UK, your vote belongs to you. Whether you vote at a polling station, by post, or via a proxy, it’s your decision. It’s illegal for anyone to influence you to vote against your will.

What is voter fraud?

Voter fraud can take many different forms. No-one, not even a partner or family member, is allowed to:

• pressure you into voting a certain way
• offer you something in exchange for your vote
• pretend to be you at the polling station
• complete your postal vote for you

What to do if you’ve seen or been a victim of voter fraud

If someone tries to take your vote, or the vote of anyone you know, call the charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or visit crimestoppers-uk.org
