A newly proposed requirement to show ID before casting a vote could reduce the number of people who vote Labour. What we do know from the one part of the United Kingdom that requires voters to produce ID before voting – Northern Ireland – is that it makes it harder for poorer people to vote as they are less likely to have the required identification.
