  Then what's the legal recourse / precedent for handling illegal votes? If it's not codified, then it sounds like a failure of the government structure and charter

    Normally the result would be overturned. See Lutfur Rahman: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-45452342 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-45452342 Apparently the Brexit referendum was "advisory" so this doesn't count. > sounds like a failure of the government structure and charter Everything is a failure of the government structure and charter at the moment, pal. We've had half a dozen constitutional crises this year and the Speaker is digging up precendent from 1604.
