your bus pass has a photo. Just on Times Radio Live https://www.electoralcommission.org....d?gclsrc=aw.ds From October 2023 it will also apply to UK General elections. Last edited by arista; 30-04-2023 at 09:48 AM. |

It won't affect me as I've my passport and driving licence, +.
However I am furious this has been passed into law. Absolutely NO need for it at all. What about postal votes??? I often wonder how many actually possibly fill in their own postal vote. An old Lady was telling me her bus pass photo doesn't look much like her now, she had it taken 24 years ago to get it. It's renewed with that same photo, she's never been told to go and have the photo updated. What a shambles of a government to bring this in. Then again where is Labour saying they'd reverse it though. They certainly should say they will. Absolutely ridiculous. Soldiers who fought in the last war for our rights and freedoms as well as defending the Country. Must be turning in their graves at this. |

[Make sure you're registered To vote in any election in the UK, you must be registered to vote. If you know that you won’t be able to get to the polling station on polling day, you can vote by post. You can apply for postal vote because you’re away on holiday or because your work schedule means you can't get to polling station. You can also choose to vote by post simply because it would be more convenient for you. You will be a sent a postal vote ballot pack before the election. Find out more about how to vote by post.] Click Link https://www.electoralcommission.org....pply-vote-post Last edited by arista; 22-01-2023 at 02:57 PM. |

Then I'm awaiting the announcement that the government will be providing free valid photo ID; every state in the USA which mandates photo ID provides it after all.

i always thought it was a bit dodgy to just turn up with a voting card, however, what they are doing is making sure everyone has an ID card of one form or another and is therefore "in the system" (excluding illegal immigrants of course)

They know fine well that Tories are statistically far more likely to already have photo ID.

To be fair you need photo ID to get a job or claim benefits, so what's the problem?

I just think it's unnecessary and wrong.
There's no evidence of strong fraud in voting. In fact it would seem there's hardly any at all. I hope it backfires on this lot for even thinking about bringing it in never mind doing so. |

it's a standard tactic to try and get the edge on a vote. It's been used across the world
