Tory Voter ID checks will make it harder for Black and minority ethnic people to vote, a senior MP has said.
Labour’s Clive Lewis, who chairs the all-party parliamentary group on race, said Voter ID “undermines the very cornerstone of our democracy” as he expressed “concern” about the underrepresentation of minority ethnic groups in elections worsening.
He said: “The problem has been known for decades and yet little progress has been achieved. Reforms in the Elections Act 2022 are among the most significant changes to the electoral system of the past century.
