Birmingham City Council is under fire after admitting to rampant “family voting” during the May elections, with 50 polling stations reporting blatant attempts to sabotage the secret ballot—voters entering booths together, giving instructions via gestures and verbal cues, and even escalating to aggression when challenged. One man held all his family’s poll cards and directed votes, while another became hostile, accusing officials of fraud. Officers noted women were more likely to resist correction than men, sparking alarm over election integrity. A key legislative figure has called for an Electoral Commission probe, warning this isn’t unique to Birmingham. The Commission says it’s collecting evidence and will soon release findings, while police have declined further action on the cases.
