Letter: Richmond polling stations inconsistent with ID requests

Dear Editor, Some polling stations seemed very inconsistent on election day. Mine did not want any ID. Even when I asked them they said, “No, not required, it’s only required in provincial or federal elections.

Dear Editor,

Some polling stations seemed very inconsistent on election day. Mine did not want any ID. 

Even when I asked them they said, “No,  not required, it’s only required in provincial or federal elections.”

Right after this, my family dropped me off and they voted at another polling station in Richmond, and they were asked for picture ID? This is very inconsistent!

I heard from other friends and some were asked for ID, some were not. Even at the advanced pole this same thing happened.

This is not right and I need some answers!
