Yesterday, the Queen's speech outlined the government's multimillion-pound plan to introduce voter ID. This move is disastrous and undemocratic and as millions of people currently do not have a form of photo ID, it would see many left out from voting.
With just 6 cases of voter fraud at the last election, this move is simply voter suppression. It is a terrible move that will impact eligible voters from the most marginalised backgrounds. When trialled in 2019, 2,000 people were turned away from the polling station. 750 of them did not return with a form of voter ID.
Everyone deserves their right to vote, regardless of whether they possess a form of photo ID or not.
Best,
Mete
