| Concerns that voter turnout will be reduced by proposed change |
AN important change is in prospect for the voting procedure at forthcoming council and parliamentary elections in North East Lincolnshire.
As elsewhere in the UK, voters will be required to produce an accepted form of photographic ID before they will be issued with a ballot paper.
The Government is determined to press ahead with this initiative despite protests that it is likely to reduce voter turn-out to the detriment of democracy.
The change is due to come into force at next May's local elections.
