<p>Electoral fraud is unacceptable on any level. There are already measures in place
designed to enhance the security of postal voting.</p><p>In response to (the then)
Sir Eric Pickles report on electoral fraud, the Government accepted recommendations
to strengthen the postal vote system and, in line with our manifesto commitment, we
are working to reform postal voting to ensure our elections are secure.</p><p>The
Government will look for opportunities to introduce measures that will restrict the
handling of postal votes by people who may seek to abuse or subvert them. We will
also look to introduce controls on the return of postal votes via polling stations,
which has been a cause for concern in past elections.</p>
