Voter ID: What are the new voting rules and how do I get free photo ID?

The government said it is introducing voter ID as a legal requirement in order to "protect the integrity of elections", despite there being little evidence of electoral fraud at UK polling stations.

For example, an Older Person’s Bus Pass is an accepted form of ID, however an equivalent travel card for younger people is not. Meanwhile organisations that promote the welfare of ethnic minority communities in Britain claim that these groups will be disproportionally impacted by voter ID laws.
