What the petition asks

We believe that photo ID cards should be mandatory in order to be able to vote in all Elections.
In order to prevent voter fraud, the Government should introduce a national photo ID scheme.
Government would pay for the ID cards.
This would mean the cards would be free to any voter.
The application form would be available to complete on the Government website.
