It is an offence under section 215 of the Electoral Act 1993 to vote more than once.

The Electoral Commission said it won't comment on the issue further now it's with police.

A police spokesperson confirmed it received a complaint.

"Police has received a complaint from the Electoral Commission regarding a series of posts on social media and will be investigating."
