My signature was witnessed by someone who's address is very many miles from
my own home. Also one person fills in the electoral register form on behalf
of an entire household. So checking the original register application
documents is going to be largely useless!
If you photocopy the signature and ask the perpetrator if they remember
signing, what happens if they can't remember?
I must confess I was surprised to be asked to sign that I was the person to
whom ballot papers numbered x and y had been sent. The numbers didn't
conform. On phoning the enquiry line I was told simply to cross out the
numbers and put in the correct ones. Hardly a control!!
Regards
Tim
