Voter ID information

In a matter of weeks on May 4th, many of us in England will be heading to the polls to have our say in the local elections. But because of the Government’s recent changes to election rules – insisting on photo voter ID – TWO MILLION of us could be turned away from voting in UK elections. And worst of all, most don’t even know it!

We can’t stop the Government’s plans from going ahead, but together we CAN help prevent millions of us from being locked out of our democracy.
