Voting: Could ID checks affect who participates in elections?

I doubt that it is that big a problem.

Agree with JoG here, who has been the victim of personation, something which would be many times less likely if ID was required. I've voted in a country which requires ID at the time of voting and it really is not a big deal.
Bring it on.

The ONLY aspect of proving you are who you say you are that I had any problem with was the concept that voters who did not have the cash to acquire the ID would not be able to vote.


The bill makes a commitment to providing photo ID to establish entitlement free of charge to any who want it.


That's it. Job done.
