With Covid, person id verification apps became common. Can't they be used for voting? Instead of registering and going to polling stations, just get a popup "Do you want more houses built - Yes/No". Press a button, done.
No because such things should never become digital. Voting should never become digital or rather processed via the internet.

To get a National ID system done there should be an earnest effort to ensure that EVERYone gets one free of charge , at the fastest connivence and earnest effort and no future legislation can infringe on its obtainment and replacement. Anything lesser would be I adequate.
