Number of covering envelopes received by the Returning Officer or at a polling station before the close of poll (excluding any undelivered or returned under regulation 77(1) (spoilt), regulation 78(1) (lost) and regulation 86A (cancelled ballot papers))ħ. Receipt of and replacement postal ballot papersĦ. In practice, we use field B6, ‘Number of covering envelopes received by the Returning Officer or at a polling station before the close of poll’ as a surrogate but we know that, as mentioned, electors can return multiple postal ballots in one envelope or return envelopes without any ballots.ī (1). There is no field that captures the number of postal voting statements received by the Returning Officer or at a polling station before the close of poll. As it is, field B15 is largely redundant given that almost all authorities now verify 100% of postal vote returns. It would seem sensible to consider replacing fields B15-17 on Form K with three other aggregated categories: rejections for mismatching rejections for missing identifier information rejections for absent documentation.

However, the discrepancies seem less severe and the categories have the advantage of being embedded in software and of having greater ‘common sense’ meaning. The different breakdown of reasons for rejection collected on the additional data form does not always match this B6 minus C18 calculation. In practice, we use a calculation of field B6 minus field C18 as a surrogate for the total number of postal votes rejected regardless of whether or not it is the same as recorded in field C19. When local authorities are contacted about such anomalies they are often unable to provide revised figures or clarify why the data were coded in For example, in the treatment of the numbers of covering envelopes and ballot papers returned, covering envelopes may be sent in without the A envelope or postal voting statement enclosed, while the missing document may or may not be sent in a separate covering envelope later, or multiple ballots may be returned in one envelope. Inconsistencies relating to the reasons for and total number of postal vote rejections on the Form K appear to result from the potential for differences in interpretation and treatment. For example, customers of one electoral management software supplier consistently report a higher proportion of ‘mismatching’ than others. We continue to notice differences in the coding of information by different electoral management software. There remain inconsistencies in the ways in which local authorities record and report information. This ranged from 0.1% in 20 constituencies to 6.0% in two London constituencies (Dulwich and West Norwood, and Streatham). 3 Overseas votersĪcross Great Britain, there were approximately 285,000 registered overseas voters (0.6% of the electorate). This data is inconsistently reported and we did not receive a complete data return from all constituencies. Returning Officers reported that approximately 10,500 individuals tried to vote on election day despite not being registered.
