One more point to the strong-ID / e-id debate: Today is election day in Czechia. I live in Switzerland. I can take my ID or present e-id and it *has* to be taken as a proof of my identity to be able to vote.

Is there a way to assure my voting rights without an ID while not hindering the accessibility of it?

If you're going to argue with voting ID:
1) That is *the same* like ID, so take any of your arguments against ID and it's applicable here.
2) Voting ID is specialised document for specific use-case, which means: More government $$ spent, more potential data breaches, more people suppression.
3) Any one thing that makes access to elections tiny bit more problematic should be resolved. Period.

I'd like to take the opportunity and invert the argument: If you're against strong ID system, then I'd argue passports should be banished and subsequently no border movement restrictions being legal.

Which is, BTW, a thing I'd 100% support.

Having no government control over people and people having convenient way to prove their identity are two separate things and can IMO live side by side.
