Elections: Fraud
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what data his Department collates on instances of electoral fraud.
Answered by Samantha Dixon
Data on allegations and outcomes of electoral fraud is collected by police forces across the UK and provided to the Electoral Commission. The Electoral Commission then publishes this information annually on its website. The Government continues to work closely with the Electoral Commission, the police and other partners to safeguard the integrity of elections and maintain public confidence in the democratic process.
