Voter fraud being investigated at UK general election count in Glasgow
Glasgow UK election
Potential electoral fraud was reported in Glasgow where Police Scotland was called in to investigate the matter. Police were seen at the Emirates Arena in Glasgow where three ballot papers were seized over fears of possible electoral fraud. Two of these incidents are being investigated in Glasgow South West seat and one reportedly in Glasgow West.
The police suspected "personation" which was reported by the returning officer. As per the Electoral Commission, "personation" is "the offence of personation involves someone pretending to be someone else so they can use that person’s vote. This can happen at a polling station, with a postal vote, or a proxy vote."
Police reached Glasgow’s Emirates Arena around 11 pm and inspected the ballot papers on the counting floor after the Election Commission raised concerns over several ballot papers. The police were seen putting the papers in a clear evidence bag.
What didGlasgow City Council say?
Speaking on the matter, a spokesman for Glasgow City Council said, "Over the course of the day we have received four reports of potential personation at polling places.
"The police subsequently asked us to extract three ballot papers from the count and this was done when the relevant ballot boxes arrived at the count centre.”

Labour to sweep all six seats
As votes are being counted in the United Kingdom, all six constituencies in Glasgow are likely to go to Labour from the SNP. Exit polls show that Labour is on course for a 170-seat majority, while the SNP might be left with just 10 seats in Scotland.
Landslide victory for Labour
Labour Party is cruising along and is expected to bag 410 seats, while the Tories are on course for 131. Labour Party leader Keir Starmer, after winning his seat in the parliament, said that the country had voted for change and it was time for his party to deliver.
"Tonight people here and around the country have spoken, and they're ready for change," Starmer said.
"The change begins right here."
Starmer is on track to take over as prime minister from Rishi Sunak and end 14 years of Conservative-led governments.
