Where I live we get medical services cards with photos on them, free and no qualification needed, everyone eligible to vote should have or be able to get one
We don’t. The new law requires local auth to issue photo ID. But dose not provide a standard way for people to confirm they are the person photographed.
In genral its a mess. And leave the people least able to spare 9-5 time to run back and forth to council offices etc screwed.
They’re just a bunch of fucking dullards aren’t they?!?! REPEAL IT!
The UK has driver’s license so why not voter ID?
Because depriving requires a qualification, voting dose not,
Voting requires you to be legally allowed to vote. This just makes it easier to verify who can and cannot vote.
Yet all the evidence indicates 2 things.
One it is not needed. As voter fraud is so low as to be insignificant.
Two it actually limits peoples ability to vote.
