    It's absolutely right that voters should have to prove their eligibility and personally I'd ban postal voting except for those overseas and those with health issues. There have been too many examples of voter fraud and ballot-stuffing, almost always by the Labour Party.

    Most democratic nations such as in my part of the U.K., ( Northern Ireland) require voters to produce photographic identity at the polling stations before being allowed to vote.
    It is an insult to the intelligence of the British people to expect them to believe that there are citizens who are too stupid to fill out a simple application form for a voting identity card.
    Are you seriously suggesting that despite our highly regarded education system there are people who cannot read or write?
    All U.K., citizens who are within the legal age category are entitled to vote.

    Voting registration is not a problem - If you are old enough to vote and you cannot organize the identity required you shouldn't be able to vote - the voting requirements are too low.

    They are not banned. They have to get off your backside and get an identity card from their local council which won't cost you loads of money. If you really care about your vote and by the way you don't have to vote, but you still should vote, take some responsibility for goodness sake.

      I am 23 and do not have any form of ID such as passport, driving license ect. I cannot vote now, when in the past I could simply by bringing a poll card delivered to my residence and I think something like a peice of paper with my name/address to cross match it.

    It is incorrect to state that passports will need to be renewed. The guidance from the Electoral Commission states that “expired documents can be used as accepted photographic ID at the polling station as long as the photograph is still a good likeness of the elector”.

      That is correct but whether or not your ID still looks like you is somewhat subjective and would still require in some instances renewal of ID
