The Electoral Commission has referred two people to police after claims they voted “multiple times”.
A statement on the Electoral Commission’s website said it was an offence under section 215 of the Electoral Act 1993 to vote more than once.
“As these matters are now with the police, the Electoral Commission will not be commenting further.”
In a statement, Detective Senior Sergeant Andrew Compton said police could confirm it had received the referral.
“We are making inquiries into this matter, however it is important to note that at this stage, the individuals’ claims have not been verified as accurate.”
