Hi,
Our community committee has stated that for my proxy vote to be used I must supply my DNI identification with my proxy vote.
As a non resident, I do not have a DNI number. I supplied a copy of my passport, and this was deemed not acceptable. I have a NIF number
My research tells me the following :-
This contravenes the European Convention on Human Rights in that they are differencing between Citizens from other European Countries. It is not necessary under the Charter for a citizen from another Country to obtain another form of identification. In other words a Passport is valid evidence of identification.
This Committee have contravened that in saying that only DNI document is evidence of identification.
Can someone confirm this for me please.
