We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.
A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

Does any country require proof? In Canada you just need an ID that confirms your name and address. No proof of citizenship is necessary. It's illegal for a non citizen to vote, but proof isn't necessary in order to vote.
The reason proof isn't required is because Canada doesn't issue proof of citizenship to all citizens. How can the government require people provide proof of citizenship if the government doesn't ensure all citizens have proof of citizenship?
We dont actually have a list of citizens. There is no way of knowing without proof of citizenship. https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/06/the-supreme-courts-big-data-problem-118568/
Canada does have a list of citizens, thats the difference.
I've never heard of that. I'd be interested if you have a source.
