Election monitors note instances of voters in England turned away over ID
European election observers from the Council of Europe's Congress of Local and Regional Authorities have documented instances of voters in England being turned away from polling stations due to confusion over photo ID requirements introduced by the 2022 Elections Act, though the issue is not widespread. The 17-member delegation, which discussed foreign interference concerns (not deemed a threat for these elections), will release a report on Friday covering election organization, staff training, accessibility, and potential harassment, and met with UK politicians including Labour's Steve Reed and Green Party representatives.
