Police investigating alleged electoral fraud at polling stations in Glasgow after people find their votes had already been cast

0

Police in Glasgow are investigating ten cases of suspected electoral fraud.

Voters turned up at polling stations to find that people had already voted using their names.

Glasgow City Council confirmed that there had been 10 instances where people had gone to vote and found their names had already been crossed off the list.

Spokesman Colin Edgar said: ‘We’ve had a number of suggestions across the course of the day that people have turned up at the polling station to vote and they appear to have voted already.

Allegations of fraudulent voting in Glasgow polling station

‘This is impersonation, if it turns out to be what it is. 

Last night police officers were present at the count to remove the ballot papers and keep them as evidence.

The papers were from 10 different boxes across Glasgow, and not concentrated in one area. 

Stewart Hosie, SNP Treasury spokesman at Westminster, said it was ‘very sad that people feel the need to engage in any kind of impersonation’.

He said: ‘I think that’s a daft thing to do. The ballot papers have been identified, they will be taken away and fingerprinted, the police will do their job and I’m sure whoever has done it will be caught and sentenced.

‘That’s the correct procedure. It won’t change the result but of course it shouldn’t have happened, it is a silly, silly, thing for anyone to try to do.’

The investigation came as thousands of independence supporters waving Saltires gathered at George Square in the city centre.

Nationalists lit a flare in the public space, which had been renamed ‘Independence Square’ and has become a focus point in recent days.

The gathering was mostly friendly and police said in the early hours there had been no arrests.

Scots with Saltires painted on their faces did the conga and sang songs including Flower of Scotland.

A Police Scotland spokesman said: ‘Police Scotland takes the safety and security of the Independence Referendum extremely seriously and is working with partner agencies including local authorities to ensure the integrity of the ballot. 

‘Any crime committed will be investigated appropriately.’

Mr Edgar added that the ‘first vote went in the box’ but the second attempt to vote was stopped when the individual was identified as having been already ticked off the list.

He said: ‘The second voter was given what is known as a “tendered ballot” which is like a ballot paper but it doesn’t get counted, so you can express a preference but it doesn’t get counted.’

He said there was no indication as to which answer the allegedly fraudulent votes were cast towards but that would not be revealed as ‘the ballots are secret’.

He added: ‘No crime has been committed until an investigation has been completed and somebody has been prosecuted and found guilty.’
