No passport, no vote
Some 200,000 people will be unable to vote in the March local and June national elections because they do not have valid ID, the AD reports on Friday.
Since last year people have been required by law to show their passports or ID cards when voting.
In particular, many elderly people will be disenfranchised because they no longer travel and have let their passports expire, the paper says.
