Will of the people, the same people whose right to vote they're thwarting, millions unable to vote due to seven accusations of voter fraud, only two of which were proven, rotten boroughs, the only rot is our form of government and the people who sit at the top of it including chaz

Don't see what your problem is , IDs are widely available . Unless "you" had something to hide.

If there's no problem, why introduce unnecessary red tape which doubtless we'll all end up paying for.

Strange that a 60+ bus pass is acceptable ID, but an 18+ bus pass isn’t (or 16-25 rail pass, or 25-30 rail pass, or University student ID).

Indeed as l have been voting for 40 years and in that time there has been very minimal voting fraud.
It ain't broke so why change it.

I think you've hit the nail on the head judging by Hugh's list of IDs.

Wrong. Many older people do not have one.
They dont need a passport, dont have a photo driving licence, and dont qualify for a bus pass.
Its a ridiculous requirement that wasnt needed, we dont have widespread voting fraud in the UK.

The official reason is the level of verification required in order to get any of those IDs. It is, or so I read, notably harder to get a 60+ card than it is any of the others.
That may be true, or it may not be. But the very fact that you can use one but not the others has been echoing loudly amongst the usual suspects on Twitter. I’ve seen the phrase ‘voter suppression’ a lot in recent weeks.

Would the fact you can use an EEA identity card not be problematic, seeing as you’re not entitled to vote in UK elections as a citizen of an EEA country?

A railcard does not put you on the electoral register. I'm not sure what the checks for that are. Is it honesty with a big penalty for deliberately false information?

Resident EU Citizens can vote in U.K. Local Elections, but not Parliamentary Elections.

Just found this.

Not sure what your point is, as one of the accepted IDs is a National Identity Card issued by an EEA State?
