We ask the Government to introduce voter ID and review postal votes

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Given the problems with free and fair elections both in the UK and elsewhere, the Government is asked to introduce mandatory Voter ID and to review the postal voting system to prevent voter fraud and ballot harvesting

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

You may wish to sign this petition calling for a similar action: No ID no vote. No to postal votes.

If you want a review, rather than abolition, of postal votes we could accept a petition requesting this, but you would need to provide your full name.
