Unlock Democracy launch the Voting Green Cross Code
One week before the local and European elections, Unlock Democracy have launched the Voting Green Cross Code.
The right to vote is one of the most fundamental human rights. However our current electoral arrangements have been seen to be vulnerable to electoral fraudsters, as our Stamp Out Voting Fraud campaign highlights.
That is why we have launched the Voting Green Cross Code, a three step guide as to the steps you should take when voting to protect your ballot from fraudsters. It also gives information about the electoral process so that people can make an informed decision when they go to the ballot box.
We are telling voters that there are three steps they should take to ensure that their vote is properly registered. Whether they decide to vote in person by post or by proxy, we ask that voters STOP, LOOK and then VOTE.
More information about this online campaign please go to the campaign homepage, the link to which can also be found on the right hand side of this page.
