Well, looking at my postal voting stuff, there is only a serial number on the vote paper (which is sufficiently short to be non unique over the entire region and thus non-identifiable). I know it's been a while since I've visited a polling station (having been a postal voter ever since the rules were changed and everyone could register for it), but I seem to remember the serial numbers of the ballot papers were noted there...

There's no reason you can't just deliver it in person to the address if you don't trust the royal mail (of course, in the case of someone trying to influence the results -- how do they know what is inside two sealed envelopes?)

It's still a case of counting bits of peper with a postal vote. That can be recounted dead easy.

But surely that's a wasted vote? -- In the sense that it wasn't counted. A more constructive protest would be standing as a candidate youself?
