The trial judge was entitled to reject the appellant's account and to infer from the totality of evidence (including the appellant's provision of detailed address information at registration, his ability to attend the designated polling station, and neutral handwriting evidence) that the appellant knowingly provided or authorised the false address; therefore the conviction was safe and the 3‑month custodial sentence, given the need for deterrence in electoral fraud and relevant precedent, was not manifestly excessive.
