Amid allegations of voter fraud in last week’s elections, Boris Johnson’s government will reportedly roll out a series of electoral reforms, including requiring voter ID, in the Queen’s Speech on Tuesday.
The Queen’s Speech, which outlines the government’s legislative priorities for the year, will reportedly include mandated voter ID for general elections as well as limits on the number of postal (mail-in) ballots individuals can collect on the behalf of voters, according to
The Guardian.
The recently re-elected Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan came out against the proposed reforms on Monday, telling LBC Radio: “Boris Johnson is borrowing policies from the U.S. It’s a backwards step.”
