Telegraph Columnist Says Voter ID Issue 'Just Bonkers' After his Wife was Told to Return With Marriage Certificate Before She Could Vote bylinetimes.com/2024/05/03/tel…
We have been campaigning to scrap photo voter ID for over 2 years. It is costly, unnecessary and discriminatory. @BylineTimes have identified another two reasons why it has to go: it causes chaos and confusion! bylinetimes.com/2024/05/03/tur…
🔴‘Turned Away Because of My Beard’: Voters Report Being Denied a Say in Local Elections Due to Strict Voter ID Law Voters say they struggled to prove their identities as polling stations enforced England’s draconian photo ID rules reports @josiahmortimer bylinetimes.com/2024/05/03/tur…
#VoterID has once again shown itself a total shambles. Countless eligible voters have been robbed of the right to vote by this unnecessary & costly policy. A former PM & a sitting MP falling foul of rules they helped to enact just puts the tin hat on it. inews.co.uk/news/boris-joh…
Downing Street says it will “look into” changing #VoterID rules after they robbed at least one military veteran of the right to vote. Recognising the problem is welcome. But it’d be much simpler just to scrap the unnecessary, costly scheme altogether. theguardian.com/uk-news/articl…
🚨Up to 5 million Brits are unaware of the need for photo ID when voting! Here's a thread with the FULL LIST of accepted ID to save and share. Remember yours tomorrow! 👇 1/10
As part of our #VoteWatch24 initiative, we're collecting info from the ground at polling stations tomorrow. Get turned away at the polls? See something strange? Fill out our voter id survey here or write to [email protected] 👉forms.gle/3FosEgQ1qmr67V…
Lost your ID? Had a medical emergency that means you can’t make it to the polling station? You might be able to apply for an emergency proxy vote until 5pm. Find out more: electoralcommission.org.uk/i-am-a/voter/a…
MPs themselves are falling foul of the rules on #VoterID. Fear you are in the same boat? Check if your ID will be accepted ➡️ bit.ly/3QoyhZZ Had issues voting or with ID? Witnessed something strange? Fill in @BylineTimes' VoteWatch survey ➡️ bit.ly/3QqJZTT

Only have an out of date ID? As long as: 📷 it still looks like you 🖊️ the name on your ID is the same as the one you used to register to vote your ID will still be accepted at the polling station. Find out more: electoralcommission.org.uk/i-am-a/voter/v…

Just shows the arbitrary nature of voter ID rules - the government gets to decide what counts, and what doesn't

It's polling day across England and Wales. Make sure to vote and bring Photo ID. Full list of accepted Photo ID here 👇 electoralcommission.org.uk/voting-and-ele…
Perhaps more people would vote in local elections if local councils had more decision-making and fundraising powers? Then voters would think their vote really mattered. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…
“If there ever was a time when ‘good chaps’ could be relied on to follow the rules, it is long gone.” Welcome intervention from ACOBA Chair, Eric Pickles. We support his call for ACOBA to have “proper powers to investigate and sanction real breaches.” politico.eu/newsletter/pol…
🔴 Just a Fraction of Voters Who Lack Photo ID Apply for ‘Free’ Identification – In Warning Sign for Mayoral Elections Low take-up of the Government’s Voter Authority Certificate poses a risk to voters in May’s local elections – @josiahmortimer reports bylinetimes.com/2024/04/24/jus…
🚨 TODAY is the deadline to apply for a FREE VOTER ID certificate 🚨 If you want to vote in the local elections next week, you now need a valid form of photo ID to vote, such as a passport or driving licence. You have till 5pm to register; don’t risk losing your voice.…
So, just a postponed slap on the wrist for GB News' multiple rule breaches? Doesn't bode well for the forthcoming General Election, and @Ofcom's willingness to clamp down, in real time, on rule-breaking during the election campaign. theguardian.com/media/2024/apr…

The impact of Voter ID will again fall disproportionately on young and disabled people and voters from ethnic minority communities, those already most excluded from the democratic process. Voter ID is harmful & unnecessary. It should be scrapped. hyphenonline.com/2024/04/22/vot…

Don’t take our word for it - look at what Labour’s national campaign coordinator said today. FPTP pits voters against one another, forcing parties to decide who matters & who doesn’t. If you live in a safe seat, you can be safely ignored.

Thousands of people will have been turned away yesterday due to not having ID from the list the government approved. But millions of people who did vote had no impact on the result, due to the way councillors are elected.

VOTE if you can (and bring ID) 🎉🗳️ I got an “Ooo” when I showed my Voter Authority Certificate, as the clerk hadn’t seen one before. So I’m feeling accomplished
Just shows the arbitrary nature of voter ID rules - the government gets to decide what counts, and what doesn't
I’m not one for complaining but I am gutted! I spent 27 years in the Army and today I was going to vote in my local elections. I was sadly turned away at the door as my Veteran ID was not allowed as formal ID. I will be fighting for this “special ID” to be “more” formal🇬🇧
