This is the list of documents available for the submission By Councillor Martha Wardrop:- "Council notes that in this year's Queen's Speech the Westminster government has set out their intention to introduce a photo ID requirement for voting, which would only apply to UK-wide general elections and would therefore further separate the requirements for voting in Scottish local and parliamentary elections from those for Westminster elections, creating confusion as to which paperwork is required for which election. Council acknowledges that following the 2019 UK general election only 4 people were convicted of voter fraud and that the electoral commission states, "the UK has very low levels of proven electoral fraud." Therefore there is no need for any further measures to combat electoral fraud, especially if those measures risk voter disenfranchisement. Council recognises that there is no form of photo ID currently available for free in the UK and that therefore demanding photo ID to vote is demanding that people pay to vote. Council agrees that adding this further requirement to vote will disenfranchise some voters. People least likely to have photo ID, and therefore most likely to be disenfranchised by a photo ID requirement, are those under 30, families on low incomes and disabled people. Council therefore agrees to: a reject any proposal to be involved in a pilot of photo ID for voting to the fullest extent the law allows; b refuse to administer photo ID for voting to the fullest extent the law allows; and c respond to any consultation on photo ID for voting with an unequivocal statement against it. Council calls on the council leader to write to the Prime Minister and the Home Secretary stating Glasgow City Council's objection to voter ID laws and to any law which will disenfranchise Glasgow's citizens.".
