Green Leader Zack Polanski Missed London Vote After 2 Address and Security Issues
1 articles · Updated · BBC.com · May 14
Zack Polanski did not cast a ballot in last week’s London local elections, with the Green Party saying he ran out of time to update his electoral registration after moving.
Security concerns also blocked the process: the party said Polanski faced heightened intrusion risk and abuse, and that anonymous registration required extra steps he did not complete.
The explanation replaces an earlier party claim that he may have voted by post in Hackney while campaigning in Wales on polling day, which it now calls a miscommunication.
The disclosure adds to scrutiny over Polanski’s living arrangements and possible council tax liability on a houseboat in east London, a question Waltham Forest Council says is legally complex.
How could a party leader not pay council tax for three years on his main residence?
Was the Green leader's failure to vote and pay tax a mistake or a breach of public trust?
