Voting fraud

I have a couple of questions about voting fraud I hope someone can answer:

I know that you can be registered to vote at more than one address, and can vote from both addresses in local elections. However at a general election you can legally only vote once, from whichever of your registered addresses you chose.
Q: how would the fact that you have voted twice be picked up by "the system"?

It is the main householder's responsibility to ensure that the form we fill in annually detailing everyone at an address who is entitled to vote (or soon to be) is accurate.
Q: Is this data supplied cross checked against another database? If a householder invented a fictional lodger, for example, to gain an extra vote, how would this be picked up?
Q2: Or if someone used the vote of a recently deceased person registered at the same address, would this be picked up too?

The system seems to rely an awful lot on honesty.
