Respect have long argued that the postal voting system is wide open to fraud. We regularly meet people who say someone had come to their house asking for their postal votes. On Thursday 6th May most people will make their way to the polling stations to cats their votes, in secret, for the candidate of their choice. That is the way it should be. Your vote, your choice. In secret.

Respect believe that democracy is too important to allow parties and individuals to steal votes. It's time that postal voting on demand was abolished and only people too ill, infirm or abroad at the time of the election should be able to apply for a postal vote.
