Michael James Meadowcroft clarifies the background of the ballot system in the UK. Meadowcroft emphasizes that in order to maintain secrecy of the votes whilst having ballot numbering, the results are declared at the whole electoral area level, instead of at the individual polling stations level. However, if an individual would lost his or her vote through being impersonated, the numbering enables that he or she will be given a “tendered” ballot paper of different colour than the normal ones (for more information, see ACE article on Provisional or Tendered Votes). These ballots are not being counted unless the majority of the winning candidate is less than the number of tendered ballots. According to Meadowcroft the Parliament and the courts have initiated this process exceptionally rarely.
