Yes of course, and giving name and address was the system until 2023. The government have been very clear they would not revert to this, only expand the number of IDs that can be used.

Thank you Florian, and for your comments on an earlier version of it!

A very far cry indeed, it's genuinely wonderful to see hard work paying off like this, cardboard pizza boxes replacing cardboard dividers is the best part! Hopefully I'll get chance to return one day and see it for real, for all I know this could be a deep fake produced by 'Big Academia'.

Reminds of when I was applying for my PhD on the advanced quantitative methods steer the ERSC had, one condition was to use big data, turns out big data ≈ have statistical power at the aggregate level

Congrats Dr Kenn!

Thanks Ralph!

Apologies my mistake

So when will we know the *true* impact of this more restrictive voter ID? The next General Election...perhaps (10/10)

Yes voter ID won't be required in tomorrow's Welsh elections. But these are PCC elections, so with their extremely low turnout comparing with English PCC elections would be problematic (9/n)

Therefore, what will initial turnout figures tell us about this new ID law? Not a lot. As academic literature suggests this effect is likely to be particular to certain groups and a more in-depth analysis will be needed - watch this space 😜 (8/n)
