The act of needing to apply for it will disenfranchise people. You won’t be able to just pop in and do it on the way back from one of your jobs if you didn’t have time to apply in the first place. If you have caring responsibilities and/or multiple jobs it’s something that is easily forgotten about due to a lack of time.
Not hugely in favour of ID cards but if we all had them automatically it wouldn’t be as much of an issue.

That would defeat the point of them. Conservative electoral tactics are well established.
