UK: Boris Johnson turned away from polling station for forgetting voter ID under rules he introduced
Bungling Boris Johnson was turned away from his local polling station as he didn't have the right ID, the Mirror understands.
The former Prime Minister fell foul of the voter ID rules introduced when he was in Downing Street when he tried to cast his ballot in South Oxfordshire today. Polling station staff initially turned him away as he only had an envelope with his name and address on it, according to a source.
Voters must show photo ID like a passport or a driving licence to vote under heavily-criticised rules that Mr Johnson pushed through. Mr Johnson is believed to have returned to vote with the correct ID later.
His spokesman did not deny that he failed to bring his ID, saying only: "Mr Johnson voted Conservative." Earlier in the day, Mr Johnson tweeted: "The polls are now open. Vote Conservative today!"
