Electoral Registration Officers (EROs) in each of the London boroughs have a statutory duty to ensure that the register for the forthcoming London Mayoral and Greater London Assembly elections is accurate and complete. In taking forward this duty EROs have a number of mechanisms to help prevent and detect fraudulent entries on the electoral roll. Any specific allegations should be referred to the police and investigated thoroughly.Any individuals who apply to vote by post for the London Mayoral and Greater London Assembly elections (as for other elections) will have to provide personal identifiers (their signature and date of birth) which are checked against corresponding identifiers on the statement which voters must submit alongside their ballot paper.The Government take any electoral fraud very seriously and regard the integrity of the ballot as a top priority. There is no evidence that fraud is widespread on a national level, but any instance of electoral fraud is serious and we will continue to work with the Electoral Commission, police, political parties, EROs and returning officers to raise awareness and strengthen systems, to ensure that fraud is detected and prosecuted and to draw attention to existing best practice.
