When registering to vote, the householder has to fill in a form, giving details of all those eligible to vote. There's a limited number of slots to name a registrant; I think its 4 or 5. A crooked householder could, I suppose, register 5 dead people at his address; if he got caught, he'd be prosecuted. With 10 crooked householders, you could get 50 crooked votes. Hardly any elections turn on that few votes.
