2.6 Deputy G.P. Southern of the Chairman of the Comité des Connétable s regarding postal voting:
Is the chairman satisfied that at the last election for Deputies, postal ballots were free from any of the following offences: bribery, treating, undue influence, secrecy, impersonation, multiple voting and proxy voting, and that the traditional standards of propriety observed at polling stations were carried through to the postal voting context?
Connétable K.P. Vibert of St. Ouen (Chairman, Comité des Connétable s):
I am not in a position to answer that question. The role of the Connétable s at election time is merely to facilitate at the taking of a poll. The postal ballot is entirely handled by the Judicial Greffier. Those postal ballots which are collected by him are handed to the returning officer prior to the election and the returning officer handles them throughout.
2.6.1 Deputy G.P. Southern :
Is the chairman aware that I asked a very similar question of the Attorney General last week and he said it was not his responsibility and he was not going to answer it? So who is responsible for the conduct and the propriety around postal voting in elections on the Island, do you know?
The Connétable of St. Ouen :
I do not. As far as I am concerned it is handled by the Judicial Greffier.
