<p>I will not comment on operational or intelligence matters, however I can assure
you that the Government has seen no successful interference in our electoral process
to date.</p><p>Our system of paper balloting and hand counting means UK voting mechanisms
do not lend themselves to direct electronic manipulation. A series of protective measures
were put in place ahead of the 2015 General Election, designed to be sufficiently

Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) offers UK organisations, including political parties,
access to the best cyber security advice and support to help them meet their responsibility
to protect their information and prevent cyber attacks from all possible threats.</p><p>
