Cases of suspected electoral fraud are an operational matter for the Chief Electoral Officer who has referred a small number of cases relating to the Parliamentary general election to the PSNI for investigation. Any allegations of suspected malpractice should be reported to the PSNI and the Electoral Office for Northern Ireland.
