Boris Johnson Turned Away From Polling Station Over Forgotten Photo ID

Boris Johnson, former UK Prime Minister, was initially unable to vote without providing identification at a polling station in South Oxfordshire. This incident occurred on Thursday, marking one of the first times voters across England and Wales were required to present photo ID under new rules introduced by Johnson's Conservative government through the Elections Act 2022. According to reports, Johnson was told he would not be able to vote without proof of identity, but he returned later with the necessary documentation and was eventually allowed to cast his ballot.
