Peter Golds: The Electoral Commission has failed to take action against fake newspapers – or fake political parties

Polling organisations have strict guidelines as to questions and methodology. Why can’t we have rules to stop dodgy bar charts?

Peter Golds: I’m delighted that outdated election law is being reviewed

The Electoral Commission stumbles from one crisis to another – while proven voter fraud goes unpunished.

Peter Golds: With councils being sent extra funding, scrutiny is essential

Peter Golds: The Electoral Commission has rewritten the law to make it difficult to investigate vote fraudsters

It has, without consultation or a change in the law, slammed shut the principal way that investigating corruption of the register may be properly conducted.

Peter Golds: Once again, Tower Hamlets is in the news for chaos and corruption

Peter Golds: Voter ID for elections is long overdue

Consider the case of the man whose death was registered in Bangladesh on election day. Miraculously, his vote was recorded thousands of miles away in Tower Hamlets.

Peter Golds: Our electoral process needs urgent root and branch reform

In April 2020, Lutfur Rahman will have his disqualification lifted. He will be free to stand in the 2022 local elections. Will the police have learned anything?

Peter Golds: Suspended councillors, polling station mobs…and demonic Smurfs. Yes, it’s election time again in Tower Hamlets.

In 1872 the secret ballot was introduced to prevent open voting. 137 years later, the United Kingdom cannot guarantee a secret ballot in our capital city.

Peter Golds: Tower Hamlets Council is still failing the residents of the borough

£750,000 is allocated for “mother tongue teaching”. Yet there is almost no budget for English as a spoken language for non-English-speaking parents.

Peter Golds: More bad news for Rahman as he is struck off as a solicitor

Peter Golds: Voter corruption is prosecuted in Scotland, and it should be in England too

The Crown Prosecution Service and the police are still failing to uphold democracy in Tower Hamlets.

Local Government | By Peter Golds | 9 August 2017 at 6:10 am | 30 comments

Peter Golds: Requiring ID at polling stations is vital to tackling election fraud

If it is good enough for internal Labour selections then why not for council and General Elections?

Local Government | By Peter Golds | 29 December 2016 at 6:10 am

Peter Golds: Second Tower Hamlets Councillor jailed for fraud in four years

There will now be a by-election in the Whitechapel Ward. But will the police ensure that it is free and fair?
