Yet we can walk into a polling station, present them with a slip of paper, say 'yep, that's me', and vote in an election!
You don't even need you poll card to vote. If you turn up at the polling station and know the name registered at an address you can vote. The Presiding Officer cannot refuse to issue a ballot paper if the person presenting can successfully answer the prescribed questions.

About time things were tightened up.
