Original Note:
In the 2023 council elections, about 14,000 people were prevented from voting because they could not show an accepted form of photo ID. Ethnic minorities and unemployed voters were more likely to be turned away. This figure would be larger at a GE for the whole of the UK. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-65988959 https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/jun/23/at-least-14000-people-denied-vote-due-to-lack-of-voter-id-watchdog-finds?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other
