@stephenwhq Thanks for this. I am a postal voter and this is the first time I've heard about the need to reapply, and prove my identity, when I do so. Voter suppression is the only way to describe this.

@Cycling_Liz @stephenwhq I don't see anything on that site about postal voters being required to re-apply. That said, it seems like they're punting it to local council electoral officers, who may require this in some areas.

@spacehobo @stephenwhq If you go to the page where you actually apply for the postal vote, it tells you there.
