We do our best, using the technology available to us, to prevent individuals voting more than once in our online polls. Please help us provide a better measure of public opinion on these important matters by refraining from any attempts to influence the Ham&High's online polling unduly.
Many thanks, Chris Smith, Web Editor. (E-mail me)
