that voting thing.... I had several Tweets from the "left" in the run up to the election - including one from the Dear Leader Corbyn's official / personal account.
*None* came from accounts I follow and I didn't bother to screen shot them. Twitter must be able to infer quite a bit about me by various means likely age, location, political interests and rough income bracket. I also received several Tweets that were "promoted" as in paid for from the Labour Party.
One in four UK Facebook users had viewed a Momentum video in the final week of the campaign (according to The Guardian) - a number that I personally find astonishing.... I can't imagine they actually sought the video out - so it must have been foisted on them - and not in a random way either.
The temptation to mold social media (and search Hello Google) to the traditional MSM model and deploy as a "tailored broadcast" model is obviously irresistible .... and perhaps more to the point - deniability is built in, as almost any wrongdoing if planned properly can be vanished by a computer script at a preordained moment.
I hope The Electoral Commission doesn't need prodding to look into double dipping at polling stations - somebody with appropriate administrative credentials (and mebbe some SQL skill) on the database should be able to scope out the quantity of cheating in a couple of minutes..... I will not hold my breath for a result - since a single request for a criminal record for a visa application took 5 weeks.... which would mean that it'd take ca. 4 million years to check all voters (according to Sir Humphrey Appleby)

Agree with @Pcar
If you have proper evidence then make a proper complaint on the Electoral Commission website first.
Otherwise it's just hearsay.

Quite a lot of net-goss about students being encouraged to register twice for the GE - at home and Uni. Seems there was a push to get them to vote twice as well. See HERE
On change.org - why do people do this? It should be on the petitions section on gov.uk
How unreasonable of us to require nurses to be able to understand important instructions and the comments of patients and staff /sarc. Most nurses don't need degrees and once they've got them they feel that they're too educated to be doing standard nursing duties. I can only hope that by the time I need hospital treatment for old age, robots have taken over. THey'd have more humanity than some of the ones I met during my parents 'care'.

A skim shows that far too many councils aren't keen to volunteer much :-)
Some even have the sheer bluidy neck to refuse to answer as they deem the question "not in the spirit of the legislation".
No usage stats that I could find - although a number volunteer "information not collated"
I've asked my local council ....
