Pauline von HellermannThe whole #VoterID roll out here in the #UK, approved by parliament and already in place at the #LocalElections is absolutely scandalous, and it feels like people are not even aware. We have no universal ID scheme here; instead, you can use your passport, driving licence (who has those? not the poorest), or your OVER 60 OYSTER CARD, but NOT the young person's #OysterCard! This is so obviously designed to aid #Tories. We need much, much more outrage about this
Juggling With Eggs@pvonhellermannn we do need to question how we got here and where the opposition to it is - however, right now to get any change we need folks to get out and vote.
#VoterID is not required for postal or proxy votes if on the electoral roll. The deadline for postal vote apps was yesterday, but proxy vote apps allowed until 25th April. The person you nominate needs ID for themselves at polling station, but not yours.

Here’s the detail and forms to apply for a #ProxyVote if you are already on the electoral roll, but don’t have #VoterID…
