Milestones

I would like the government to ensure that young people are not being discriminated against by being unable to use their local/devolved government-issued travel passes as ‘acceptable photo ID’ for voting, while those over 60 are permitted to use their travel passes.

The list of acceptable photo ID includes some travel passes issued by local/devolved government, Eg freedom pass. However travel passes issued for young people are not included. To us, there doesn’t seem to be a logical reason why, and this should be rectified so any photocard travel pass issued by local/devolved governments is accepted. Everyone should have equal access to vote.
