THE KEY SUGGESTIONS TO STAMP OUT CORRUPTION

Consider the options for requiring voters to produce ID before voting.
Use indelible ink on a person’s fingers once they cast their ballot to prevent anyone voting twice.
Carry out systematic checks on a person’s nationality to ensure they are eligible to vote.
Put a three-year limit on requests for an automatic postal vote.
Ban political campaigners and activists from handling completed postal votes and postal vote envelopes.
Give police powers to set up cordons around polling stations.
Change the law to make it easier to charge people with intimidation under the Representation of the People Act 1983.
Make it illegal to take pictures in polling stations.
Make it a requirement that only English is to be used in polling stations (except in Wales).
Strengthen training to ensure staff enforce the rule that voters go to the booth alone.
