Race coalition warns government bills will ‘disenfranchise’ ethnic minority groups Nadine White © Provided by The Independent A coalition of equality organisations has urged the government to “take meaningful action” in tackling race disparities following its pledge announced in the Queen’s speech. The group have issued a statement warning ministers that mandatory Voter ID plans threaten to “disproportionately disenfranchise” Black and ethnic minority voters, many of whom lack any form of photo ID. Signatories include Runnymede Trust, Operation Black Vote, Race Equality Foundation and Trades Union Congress (TUC). The ID legislation is accompanied by recent proposals in the Police, Crimes, Sentencing and Courts Bill, which carries with it profoundly worrying implications for Black and ethnic minority people, particularly Gypsy Roma Traveller groups, and will widen disparities in the criminal justice system, the coalition argues.
