Democracy Volunteers has deployed observers across Great Britain for the largest election observation since the 2024 UK General Election.
In teams of two, using the internationally accepted standard of the ‘four-eyes method’, teams are deployed from 7am to 10pm to polling stations to observe the process. The teams answer up to 64 questions on different aspects of the voting process from disability access to political activity at polling stations.
Democracy Volunteers have informed all those councils across Scotland, Wales and England that observers may be in their area, following the recent changes made to the code of practice issued by the Electoral Commission.
With hundreds of polling stations to be visited by the teams, our report on the elections for the Scottish and Welsh Parliaments and English local elections will be issued no later than 6 weeks after the election is over. Commenting, Director of Democracy Volunteers, Dr John Ault said;
‘With this large number of polling stations and large amounts of data, our team will be analysing all the information we have collected and will be reporting on it in due course.’
