Highlight:
ELECTORAL COMMISSION REPORT ON MAY 2015 VOTING PROBLEMS:
“Multiple errors
64* –Some authorities experienced more than one issue in their delivery of the elections which either individually or cumulatively may have had a detrimental impact on voters and those standing for election.
*
Seven ROs overseeing elections in the following local authorities: Allerdale, Darlington, East Devon, East Lindsey, Kingston upon Hull, Stoke on Trent, and West Lindsey.”
So, when Mark Williams makes light of his difficulties with this year’s elections and blames pressure of work and inexperienced staff , remember that only these 7 local authorities out of a total of 433 had multiple mistakes.
