Allegations of voter fraud in the Scottish referendum – the details via ForexLive

From Aileen Clarke at BBC Scotland

• These allegations, as I understand it, relate to 10 votes.
• The technical term for the allegation is “personation”.
• This is where somebody claiming to be Joe Bloggs turns up at a polling station and votes. Then maybe several hours later when the real Joe Bloggs finishes work and turns up to vote there is a problem. ‘I'm sorry sir you have already voted'.
• The allegation is that that has happened on 10 separate occasions at polling stations across Glasgow.
• They will now try to trace the number of those ballots when it comes to the count.
• We have noticed one of them being put aside in an envelope. That will form part of the police investigation as we understand it.
• The number of people registered to vote in Glasgow is 486,219.
