This is what I am questioning because you could register say your entitled to vote , but are not really , so is this ever checked ? Because if not who knows who is voting without rights to , my point is , that if you really want to ensure that those that are entitled to vote do, then you should have checked the nationality already and that involves a passport or some form of ID ?Of course they are. You register your name & providing you qualify, citzenship etc, you have the right to vote?
There's a presumption of entitlement to vote & if you fraudulently claim the right, knowing you're not entitled, you're commiting an offence.
So surely the checks should be done when you register to vote, not when you go to vote
