introduce a photographic numbered card identity system for all voting

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

ID voting in all UK future elections. UK Postal Voting should be removed apart from very elderly and the extremely disabled. All postal votes should have to be reapplied for every 3 years.
ID MUST be a pre-requisite for voting in the UK for ALL future elections, to prevent our electoral system being violated!! Ideally some form of personal photographic numbered electoral card should be introduced in all areas, in all elections and referendums.

The UK Postal Voting system is totally open to fraud and should not be freely available to everyone, the only exceptions should be the very elderly and the extremely disabled who are unable to get to a polling station. In all instances all postal votes should have to be reapplied for every 3 years.
