Voting, photo Id

[kerching]

Got me thinking. What happens when a voter turns up with a Hijab/veil/thing?

Just curious

When I took my daughter to vote for the 1st time 4 years ago, our area was one of the areas where they trialed photo ID - she couldn't believe that that anybody could previously turn up and vote without having to prove who they are

As for facial covers .............. words fail me.

Best I can come up with is they have 'one of their own ilk' there who has a Shufftie up the veil and confirms the owner.
On a side note, do the passports have a little lift up veil attached? Sounds daft BUT if only the husband is allowed to gaze upon their beauty then surely a male Customs officer isn't

What do passport control do when someone presents in a Burka?

I don’t know what do passport control do when someone presents in a Burka?

I know for driving tests they have to show full face as there was a large spate of people sitting other peoples driving tests, so I'm guessing it's the same for customs and the voting.

As long as its done discreetly and with sensitivity I cannot see what the issue would be.
