The July 23 elections have already got their hoax about voting by mail, even though they have been introduced only some days in the past. It would not fail, at every electoral appointment, WhatsApp messages start to reach on our telephone through which somebody talks a few doable pot gap and maneuvers put in place to falsify the outcomes, one thing that, besides in distinctive instances, is fake.
If we add to this the fraud makes an attempt carried out in Melilla or Mojácar for the municipal and regional elections held on May 28; or the date chosen for the elections, in full trip time, which is able to considerably improve the vote by mail; this modality of suffrage turns into the proper goal for the creators of false rumors.
The first hoax that has slipped in for these elections, which, like most, has the discover “resent many occasions”, speaks of the truth that it is going to be inconceivable to vote by mail, though it doesn’t develop the explanation why this ought to be the case.
Hoax 23J: It won’t be inconceivable to vote by mail”I believe that each one these Spaniards who’re for no matter cause, outdoors the town, the place they’re purported to vote, throughout the month of July, it is going to be inconceivable for them to vote by mail”, reads the size message, which then explains that the issue is that the vote should be requested in particular person, that it should be acquired at residence after which it should be introduced on the publish workplace.
The falsehood is that the message hides a number of factors:
The vote can be requested on-line. The request could be made in particular person from any publish workplace. Any supply tackle could be entered in order that the documentation could be delivered to us. When voting, you are able to do it from any workplace and with out figuring out your self. The Electoral Board is contemplating requiring private accreditation on this course of, however as of June 1, that has not occurred. The DNI when delivering the vote just isn’t obligatory since 1985
Even if the change is being thought of, to keep away from makes an attempt to purchase votes like these in Melilla within the municipal elections on May 28, identification to vote by mail is just vital when requesting the documentation and when receiving it, however by no means to the time to vote. This has been the case for the reason that Electoral Law (LOREG) was accepted in 1985, and it’s not a current subject, because it was disseminated in 2019, warning of the preparation of a “pucherazo” for the April name of that yr.
The Civil Guard “has not guarded the vote by mail since 2016”, one other hoax
Another hoax that has been circulating for a while is that all the pieces is prepared for electoral fraud, as a result of “since 2016”, voting by mail “just isn’t guarded by the Civil Guard.” So the authors conclude that “opening envelopes and altering ballots just isn’t difficult in any respect.”
They are proper about one factor: voting by mail just isn’t guarded by the Civil Guard, however it by no means has been, so it’s false that that is a part of an tried fraud.
When the vote by mail is transferred from the Post Office to the places of work depending on the Provincial Electoral Board, it’s guarded by the National Police, however the vote has all the time remained within the Post Office in sealed envelopes, and with a certificates of registration within the postal census, to ensure the id of the method and the voter. When they arrive on the corresponding electoral places of work, they’re given an figuring out label.
The hoax of the double vote
On WhatsApp there are messages that warn of a doable fraud of voters who vote twice, as soon as by mail and as soon as in particular person, as a result of they seem on the lists of voting in particular person.
It is true that they seem, however subsequent to it’s a letter C that vetoes their participation in particular person on election day.
The separation of vows
A video launched shortly earlier than the 2019 election raised additional concern about voting by mail. An individual appeared saying that “they’d stopped separating the votes by mail from the face-to-face ones” on the time of the recount. That made it troublesome, based on him, to tell apart what number of adulterated votes for the PSOE have been launched from the Post Office and facilitated the botch.
The falsehood is that they haven’t ceased to be counted individually, as a result of since 1985 the depend is joint. Votes by mail are entered into the polls on the closing of the polling stations and are counted concurrently the remaining.
