First things first, I don't doubt it is a bad thing, considering who supports it and who doesn't.

But my question is what exactly is the issue and what is the current and proposed voting process when it comes to IDs?

Here in my EU country, you have to show some version of a government ID, be it an ID card, drivers license or passport. And we don't have to pre-register to vote.

EU does mandate how the national ID cards must look and what data must be written on them. It does not mandate that they have to exist, though. But in practice they do exist everywhere, and they look just the same anywhere in EU.

In UK they either don't have a national ID at all, or almost nobody has it. But it's not relevant here because it's not an EU country.
