He was only caught because he was thick enough to boast about it on twitter.
Unless there's a glaring reason to investigate, police won't go looking for trouble, especially in the obvious places.
Who needs babbling, arm waving, 'racist' chanting hordes taking to the streets to deflect attention so no, it won't be the first of many.

I have mentioned the Lutfur Rahman affair many times when this issue arises. The judgement which mushroom kindly provides is a long read but worthwhile if you’re so inclined because some of what it contains is quite breathtaking.
There is little doubt in my mind that widespread voting fraud takes place in many areas where there is a high concentration of Asians among the electorate. It is perhaps not so critical (yet) when it happens in a Parliamentary election as the constituencies are usually sufficiently large for any fraud to be of no consequence to the outcome. But it could well be so in a marginal constituency where a few tens or a hundred votes or so could well make the difference. However in local elections where the electorate numbers are so much smaller it can (and in the case of Rahman almost certainly did) swing the outcome.
The authorities need to get a grip on this and one of the simplest ways to deal with most of the fraud is to abolish postal voting on demand. If you read the Rahman judgement you will see that postal vote fraud formed a big part of Mr Rahman’s “success”. Postal votes should be available only for those people who are genuinely unable to get to the polling station.

Electoral fraud should result in a prison sentence. It is not a trivial crime.
Previous attempts at large scale electoral fraud have resulted in jail for the culprits.
// Five men, including two former councillors, were today jailed for their parts in a failed postal votes scam intended to get a Conservative candidate elected in the 2005 general election.
The former Bradford City councillor Jamshed Khan, Reis Khan – another former councillor – Mohammed Sultan and Mohammed Rafiq were each jailed for 21 months for their part in the conspiracy. //
