We’re just two weeks away from local elections here in England, a crucial time to make our voices heard on a local level. However many could be at risk of not being allowed to vote.
The government have brought in a law that in order to vote you must have ID, this means that unless you have a valid ID you will be turned away.
One of the reasons for the new law is that it will apparently make elections safer and prevent voter fraud. However, there have been just nine convictions and six police cautions over voter fraud since 2018.
