Farage Raises ‘Family Voting’ Concerns After Gorton and Denton By-Election
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has raised concerns about alleged “family voting” during the Gorton and Denton by-election, after election observers reported possible breaches of secret ballot rules. Democracy Volunteers said it witnessed several cases where voters entered booths together, which can violate UK electoral law. Farage called for stricter enforcement and suggested police presence at polling stations. Manchester City Council said polling staff reported no issues, while Greater Manchester Police are reviewing the complaint.
