Make government provide free voting ID cards for voters as many can,t afford it
if UK government require two forms of photo ID for vote. Please understand low paid workers and esa and job seekers won't have income to pay £72+ for passport and £34 for provisional driving ID. JSA is 73.50 or less after rent bedroom tax and council tax. Charging will exclude many from vote.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
At the moment, there is no requirement for people to show two forms of ID to vote.
The Government is planning a pilot of asking voters to show ID before they vote. You can find out more about this here:
www.gov.uk/government/news/voter-id-pilot-to-launch-in-local-elections
The form of identification to be used will be set by the councils, not the Government, but the pilot will involve trialling both photo ID and non-photo ID.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
