Not being a registered voter. Which you can't become unless you are legally eligible to become one.
You do understand they the ID is used to identify you as a person on the voter rolls? Which they check when you show said ID?
If you ARE legally eligible to become one, and HAVE registered, then obviously nothing would be stopping you. Since you're a legal voting citizen. But non citizens can't do that. So they can't vote.
Do we need to use smaller words here? Because we just covered this.
