What the petition asks
More examples have been found of blatant fraud at polling stations where people who have turned up to vote are turned away having been marked as "already voted".
These days, providing proof of identity is normal almost everywhere. Requiring proof of identity at the polling station ought to be mandatory for everyone who wants to vote, but especially in the EU Referendum, as a further guard against the fraudulent practices now rife throughout the United Kingdom and widely expected to occur during the Brexit vote.
