One of mine was able to vote in West Yorkshire 200 years after death ::)

In person or with a postal vote?  :)
Proxy votes are allowed.
Reminds me of a story of impersonation of a deceased voter at an election. Culprit's defence was that he knew which candidate the elector would have voted for if he'd survived so he was only carrying out the deceased person's wishes.

Reminds me of a thought that had crossed my mind in the past.  What happens if some one dies between posting their postal vote off and the actual election day.

Who would know?
I suppose it would be similar if a proxy voted early on election day and was later informed that the elector had died in their sleep.

No it is not bigamy the definition is quite clear:
The offence of marrying someone while already married to another person.

Which reminds me of the (alleged) Irish election motto:  Vote Early, Vote Often .....  :o
