Richard, We currently trust the Electoral Commission with Postal votes, which is a system of envelopes.
I guess if there is a location and timestamp you may be able to match the signoff with the vote - though this is less likely at a busy booth on election day. It is interesting that they are being printed out - is this for the scrutineers or is e-voting optional? Is the signoff also electronic or is that still paper based? People do vote multiple times against their own names???
