‘At age 93 I’ve never missed voting – but voter ID will force me to for the first time’
Mirror says A 93-year-old cancer sufferer says the new photo ID rule will exclude her from voting in tomorrow’s local elections.
Oonagh Preece first went to a polling station in 1950 and has voted in every local and general election since. But the furious mum of three said the requirement for photo ID at polling stations now excludes her from democracy.
The retired horse trainer said: “I’ve been voting all of my life, we all did in our family. Even my old granny, she would insist on getting to vote every time she could.
“She was in her 90s when she died and she voted until her last.
“I think it’s very important to vote, you’ve got to have your say.
“People forget you otherwise. Even if they don’t do anything about it, you’ve got to have your say.”
