	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/06/2016 answer text <p>The law provides for the checking of the integrity of completed postal ballots prior to them being included in the count. Returning Officers are required to check 100% of postal vote identifiers (signatures and dates of birth) returned with completed postal votes against those supplied by the elector when they applied for a postal vote. Any that do not match will not be counted in order to prevent any attempt at electoral fraud. The law requires that postal ballot papers are mixed with ballot papers from a ballot box before they can be counted as a necessary step in order to help protect the secrecy of the ballot.</p> answering member constituency Weston-super-Mare answering member printed John Penrose question first answered 08/06/2016 16:09:38 answering member 1584 label Biography information for John Penrose
