Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson was on Thursday turned away from a polling station after forgetting to bring a photo ID.
The PA news agency understands Mr Johnson was told by polling station staff he would not be able to vote without proving his identity.
The requirement to provide a photo ID was introduced by Mr Johnson during his time in Downing Street as part of the Elections Act 2022.
It is understood Mr Johnson was later able to vote, and that he voted Conservative.
