A CONSERVATIVE MP has been hamstrung by his party's own voter ID laws after he forgot his identification at his polling station.
This is because of the Elections Act 2022, a law change first put to the test during the May 2023 local elections. Hunt said he had not previously been aware of this provision, but had applied for an emergency proxy vote, saying it is “the system working well”. He added: “The legislation on acceptable forms of ID came out before the veteran ID cards started coming out in January this year. I will do all I can to change it before the next one.”
