Local elections today - just for the Police and Crime Commissioner for South Wales in our area. First time I’ve had to use photo ID to vote 🗳️
@ridwan Yes, me too. I'm sure the turnout for these local elections would be disappointingly low, even without any extra barriers to the ease of voting 🤔
@thedimpause there are 10 types of people in this world, those who vote for PCCs and the other 9 who don't
@thedimpause what do you make of the photo ID requirement? Did it stop all the election fraud that’s been taking over the whole place?
@writingslowly What electoral fraud? And any evidence of fraud that I have seen mentioned with any evidence has been related to postal voting rather than in person.
A total of 9 cases of alleged personation fraud were recorded by police forces in 2023.
(that was 2 in person, 6 postal and 1 proxy)
