The Australian Electoral Commission will receive $5.6 million in extra funding to implement the Morrison government’s controversial voter ID laws, and voters will be able to show a digital version of their drivers’ licence at the ballot box.

Labor and the Greens have slammed the proposal to require voters to show photo ID as racist and discriminatory, warning the Coalition against interfering with the electoral system to suppress the votes from Indigenous Australians, homeless people and other marginalised groups.
