    It’s not a Labour allegation. You’re turning into Col when I know you’re better than that.

    The need for photo id...brought in by this government is disgusting.

    I would like someone to assess how many legitimate voters who have forgotten their id there are vs the number of illegal false identity voter there were.

    Remember every polling station is manned by people who can recognise people turning up multiple times.

    The clerks in our polling station ate local

    Pretty sure there are more MPs who have been done for sex offences since the last election than accusations of voter fraud. Something like that. It’s just another thing out of the Trump playbook.

    There are loads of ways of voting fraudulently if you really want to anyway with no chance of detection. How many people fill out the postal vote of their spouse or elderly parents without bothering to ask which way they want their vote to go? Probably loads.

    The people who man polling stations, and bless them for giving up their time to do it, can’t be expected to handle angry would-be voters who they try and turn away or potential queues if the process is slowed down. It’ll probably be alright today with a low turnout but could be chaos when we eventually get a General Election.

    And carry it with them, is probably a better question


    I have only recently ( probably about 5 years ago) got a photo id driving licence...I had a paper one before that.

    I never used to carry it with me too

    The communication has been pretty woeful IMO.

    Rubbish.
    It's been all over social media, written media and TV news for weeks and weeks.

    Completely forgot it's locals today as it isn't in my area. Goodo - should be some interesting data on how much headway Lab is actually making and if it's in the right localities.

    Morning mate. Sounds like a lot of people weren’t aware of it. Probably not helped by various Tory leaflets giving people the wrong and sometimes complete opposite information they were meant to have.

    Don't know anything about the leaflets. We haven't had any.
    Not sure Labour have exactly covered themselves in glory with their recent leaflets.
    They're all as bad as each other.

    That’s what the Tories want you to think.

    Have you read what you posted? The first couple of lines refer to a Labour accusation.

    And that seems to have gone cold for a year now

    Don't agree. It's always amazed me that you can turn up and say you're anybody (of the same sex, presumably) and be able to vote.

    Photo ID is used all over the world. We're catching up at last.
