The electoral commission are stating that the ID rules aren't really causing a problem but...
1) Those voting for local elections tend to be the ones more involved and would be aware of the need for ID.
2) You don't hear of those that have left the house/jumped in the car on their way to somewhere else and when realising that they don't have it they don't bother.
3) Those that don't bother as they haven't got the ID and aren't motivated enough to get it.
4) Those who will turn up to vote at a general election on the day and get turned away as they didn't know the rule. We'll only see this for real when a national election takes place.
