Postal voter trying to vote (again?) at polling booth
- Jackie Pritchard (12th Dec 2019 - 13:40:58)
Disappointed to see a clearly well educated and well to do individual casually offer his driving licence and expecting to be allowed to vote at 07.40 this morning.
Well done polling booth staff for identifying him as a someone who had already opted to be a postal voter and declaring that he needed to bring in his voting papers for their perusal. He seemed to suggest that in prior elections he had been allowed to vote, but was given no truck in this instance

I think it is a shame to post this comment to the public since it brings it to the attention of others who were present at the time. Perhaps this was someone with memory issues ?

I do take your point, very seriously, but don’t consider memory an issue as other family members had their registration.

Jackie,
you seem to be under the misapprehension that you need to take your polling card in order to vote. This is not true. There is no requirement (currently) to provide any sort of ID.
Bizarre, but currently true.
This does not, of course, mean it is not illegal to attempt voting fraud.
