All they need to do with postal votes is to say they have to be actually posted in.

If that is the case, how does 'the system' know that they were filled in/completed by the authorised voter ........... not intercepted by the fraudsters (say before even reaching the voter?)

One or two forms per envelope maximum

I assumed they were pre paid?  I know our 'electoral role' registration is pre paid.  I don't have a postal vote (the polling station is only about 3 minutes walk away) but assumed it would be similar to the registration?

If they had to be posted in what I was thinking was that the cost of the stamps would be a deterrent to the mass fraud that we know goes on now.

When they investigated the scam in Tower Hamlets they found many of the voters didn't even exist. They were just fake names on the electoral register. 

That's why Labour was so implacably opposed to the poll tax. It would have had a massive effect on their percentage of the vote because all the fake names would have to come off.

It's been going on for years, everyone knows about it
