Apparently in order to be allowed in to vote in local elections 1 has to have photographic ID 

Me 4 one won't be applying.  They have my name, address etc..  Details are on the electrerol role  .  For those who want to Vote do check your local rules and regulations.

We do the postal vote

[CLKD]

So how does that work?  You could be anyone sending in a tick

CLKD haven't you got any photographic ID? It's easy to apply for a Voter Identity Card if not 

[Joaniepat]

If you have a bus pass, that will do.

Not if you have the ballot paper in your possession 🙂

I'm not eligible for a bus pass quite, and I don't agree with needing an ID to do what I am legally allowed to do: vote.  I will apply for my Driving Licence nearer the time.   . 

There was a hue and cry when 'we' wanted ID cards years ago. 

[Taz2]

Oh I thought you were the same age as me CLKD. 

[CLKD]

I'm as old as I feel  - 1st thing, about 90.  Once breakfast starts to filter through I feel younger and younger 

We may be the same year but different times ;-)

[Taz2]

I thought you were past pension age, which is bus pass age, like me. Confusion reigns 

[Curlygirl]

 We do the postal vote too, find it much easier 

[CLKD]

Confusion here too .   Yes I get my Pension ......... later than planned .......... but have never been offered a bus pass 

[Taz2]

You don't get it automatically offered to you but apply for it once you get to state pension age. 

[CLKD]

Tnx.  As I can't be shut in train/coach journeys aren't on my radar. 

[Taz2]

I understand that but at least it gives you photo ID
