So there the audit trail begins...

It's no less an issue of auditing ballot papers there or in a postal vote. Electronic voting is a different story, of course.

No, just my name and the name and address of my witness...

Initial trials with earlier elections suggest that it increases turnout. In which case, I suppor it. Also means I can vote in my own sweet time without having to get down to an allotted polling station at an allotted time...

> you know then they are giveing it to a postman not someone who will burn or dump it the first chance he/she gets dont say that does not happan have you been to the canal lately? loads of post down there...most of it opened too

I also saw on the bbc news website the case of a greeting card opened with a complaint that it contained no money signed by the postman...

As I said before, it's dman near impossible to influence a vote by opening post -- once it's opened, the vote is lost, so you can't swing it either way...
