I agree with Monsieur Guimond that the year of birth does nothing to narrow it. It just simply narrows the amount of possible fraud, whereas the date of birth would almost completely eliminate it. Simply putting the year of birth means anybody who looks to be approximately that age could still identify themselves as that voter. It would be about as good as putting down colour of hair or colour of eyes. So date of birth sounds to me like a further solution to that. We've also discussed other ways to eliminate the fraud piece. We would not need the date of birth on the list if indeed we as voters are using photo ID.
