A recent poll found that 22% of UK voters are still not aware that they will need to carry a form of photographic ID, which is a requirement after Rishi Sunak’s Government brought in a new law forcing voters to carry one of a limited number of approved IDs in order to vote.

The legislation was rushed through despite almost no evidence of in-person voting fraud in the UK.

Well they brought in voter ID last election and it didn't significantly change the outcome of the election so I would say that that is itself evidence that voter fraud is not happening. Since if it was this ID would have prevented it and we would have noticed a significant difference in the results.
