That list is wrong. I'm in the UK, we don't need ID to register or vote here.


That's not exactly correct.

ID is required in some places like Northern Ireland. Iirc, the UK poll card isn't 'typically' or ID required in England, Whales, Scottland)

But as of 2018 that's changing when some districts required ID for the first time. Although last I heard, laws suits on that were still going on.


Very well. In the vast majority of the UK, you don't need ID. That checkmark on your list remains misleading at best.
