What the petition asks
The UK government has announced plans to trial asking voters to produce ID before being allowed to vote. If this law was to be passed then it will be unfairly affecting the poor, the marginalised, the homeless, the isolated and the most vulnerable sections of our society. It needs to be stopped.
