If multiple polling cards go to each individual elector, in a household where there are five people living and two elections taking place, that would be 10 polling cards turning up. Apart from anything else, there is quite a strong likelihood that they will all get binned. The other difficulty is that political parties will step into the breach and produce leaflets which say, ““You may not want to vote in the AV referendum, or you may want to vote in a particular way, but don't forget, you've also got the Assembly elections.”” Different political parties may want to step into the breach in various ways.
