For Not Having His ID Card On Him, Former UK PM Boris Johnson Got Turned Away From The Polls...
After forgetting to bring his photo ID, which he had mandated as prime minister, former UK prime minister Boris Johnson was turned away from a polling place during the country's municipal elections.
Johnson attempted to cast his ballot in South Oxfordshire on Thursday, May 2, but poll workers had to turn him away, according to PA media. Later, Johnson came back with the ID and was permitted to cast a ballot.
The Elections Act 2022, a new set of regulations requiring a photo ID to cast a ballot, was introduced by Johnson's Conservative government.

When the bill was first proposed, it received a lot of criticism. The law may prevent hundreds of thousands of people from voting, especially those who are unemployed or belong to ethnic minorities, the UK's Electoral Commission said in 2023.
