Very easily debunked with a quick Google. An ID card that all people over the age of 16 carry is not the same thing as voters ID.

This comment in particular.

However, to be really precise, if somebody doesn't have an ID, they still have the right to vote. But checking their identity can be tricky, and it may be necessary to call the police and have them check that the person really is the right person, like they would do with a person they arrest who doesn't carry an ID.

Who has the right to vote in Norway?
Whether you have the right to vote at a Norwegian election depends first and foremost on the type of election. National parliamentary elections are reserved for citizens only, but more people have the right to vote in the municipal and county elections.

To vote in the 2023 local and county elections, you must be 18 or turning 18 by the end of 2023, and be:

  • A Norwegian citizen living in Norway.
  • A Nordic citizen who registered as living in Norway before 30 June this year. This applies to citizens of Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Iceland
  • A foreign citizen who has been living in Norway for at least three consecutive years before the date of the election
Everyone who is entitled to vote will receive a voting card (valgkort). This card contains details about the location of the polling stations on election day, and other information such as how to vote in advance.

In 2019, physical voting cards were still sent.
Previously a physical card was sent in the mail, but this year they are being sent to digital mailboxes or via Altinn. A paper copy will still be sent to those without any digital accounts. But regardless, you do not need this card to vote.

Everyone entitled to vote should receive a voting card. There is no separate registration process like in the UK and some other countries. If you have not received one by mid-August, you can contact your home municipality to check your eligibility to vote.

As I said, you do not need to show the card to vote, although it does speed up the process. You will, however, need photo ID, such as a passport, national identity card, or driving license. Bank cards with photos are also accepted.

Good to see Sadiq Khan on TV. He comes across as a proper decent individual. Lots of integrity, which is always refreshing in politics.

Having to show the ID card everyone has to vote is voter ID, daft lad. There would be no problems with silly twats rolling up and being turned away if we had ID cards like the rest of Europe. The fact we don’t have ID cards and no need to produce them to access services like you do in Europe is a big draw for those coming across the Channel.

True, the amount of services that have been cut for youths is scandalous. That's not down to him though.
