Oi … leave Bognor out of this 
I have got my driving licence photograph as proof of identity.
Unfortunately it makes me look like a wild mad woman so I might be refused when the voting staff see it.
Unfortunately Cinders I’ve only got the union flag tattooed on my left buttock, and the white rose of Yorkshire tattooed on my right buttock…
All this voter ID won’t apply in the future when an ID chip is injected into babies along with their many vaccines.

Yes, it’s exactly that. Social exclusion and a deliberate ploy by the Tories. Disgusting

Out of date ID can be accepted. However, on the day the presiding officer at the polling station has the final say on whether the photograph is acceptable. This means we can’t answer ‘ahead of time’.
Other forms of ID accepted can be found on the following link: Voter ID | Electoral Commission .

How did Switzerland get proportional representation?

£5.6 million to promote voter ID website that wasn’t live yet
Last week a £5.6 million publicity campaign promoting voter ID started. Despite these millions, electoral administrators warn that it still isn’t enough to reach everyone.
Coverage we’ve won
ERS Director of Research and Policy, Dr Jess Garland, appeared on the Compass Podcast to discuss electoral reform and spoke to the Byline Times and i News about the dangers of voter ID.
It’s been a busy week for coverage of voter ID. A Councillor in Bradford quoted our work to the local paper, and the Manchester Evening News, LBC Private Eye and PoliticsHome quoted our concerns. ERS Press Officer Jon Narcross told Sky News that it’s time ministers thought again about voter ID and scrapped this dangerous and costly policy.

I do not have any form of photographic ID.
I have no passport, no bus pass, no disabled badge and my driver’s licence is an old paper one!
No vote then User-One, you don’t exist…

We were beaten into giving in User-One, had the paper Driver’s Licence up until about 18 months ago, but got fed up with basic things not being possible without photo ID.
It does have one positive side though, every time I open my wallet, I’m reminded how handsome I am.

Us pensioners can use our bus passes.
National ID cards anyone? Pretty much every other country has them for each and every citizen. And mostly it is mandatory to carry them with you at all times.
Don’t seem to stop folks running riot!!
