To halt plans for compulsory voter photo ID.
This is a threat to democratic participation. Liberty has stated compulsory photo voter ID could undermine free and fair elections. According to Electoral Commission figures, more than 700 people were denied a vote in trials in 10 council wards during May’s local elections due to a lack of photo ID
