Elections are ‘vulnerable to fraud’
Monday 28th April 2008, 8:34AM BST.
Elections in this country fall short of international standards with the system vulnerable to fraud, a report by the Joseph Rowntree Reform Trust has claimed.

The government says it has taken significant steps to protect the electoral process.
The report comes ahead of Thursday’s local elections in England and Wales.
