Nobody knows the number of people who used the votes of others before this new arrangement was introduced because there were no checks.
It is easy to get ID from the council if you don’t have a passport, driving licence, concessionaire bus pass, etc. The only real reason this is an issue is that it stops people from committing fraud at the ballot box - a crime that probably benefited Labour.

Speaking of fraud* at the ballot box…

The Conservative Party has been forced to apologise after distributing election leaflets which told voter people they did not need to take ID when they go to vote in the local elections.
The leaflets, which were distributed to around 250 homes in Norwich, encouraged people to vote Tory, and incorrectly stated: "You don’t need to take any ID in order to vote, so long as you are registered."
However, voters do need to take photo ID to the polling stations in the local elections next week.

* defrauding voters of the right to vote by misinformation, meaning they would not be able to vote
