You don’t need to take your driver licence, your passport, or anything else with you to a voting place. No ID is required.
Your EasyVote card, if you have one, will make voting faster – but you can vote without it.
When you go to vote, you’re either marked off the printed roll at the voting place, or your details are recorded. During the official count, we compare all the rolls from all the voting places in each electorate to make sure everyone has only voted once.
So you don’t require ID, but you get sent an easy vote card, to speed up the process when you go to vote. It is super quick though, usually less than 5 minutes to vote usually.
If you want to paraphrase me, at least do it correctly, “Well, we do this in MOST countries, so it’s normal”
And yes, that is the definition of normal. It’s normal because it’s the norm. You guys are the exception. Not the other way around.
You said ID isn’t required in “a lot of countries”, and then you provide a graph (without a verifiable source) where the number of countries you don’t need ID to vote in, can be counted on a single hand.
I know how Australia does things. You still need to prove your identity when you enrol to vote. If you don’t have any of the proof they require, you can have a mate that is enrolled vouch that you are you along with your name and address.
The difference is that Australia is capable of keeping track of their citizens and are willing to verify your eligibility for you.
You can vote in all Canadian Elections without an id.

You know, you had a chance to learn about how other countries do things. Instead you chose to be a self righteous butt. Shame.
