Two candidates in the Northern Ireland elections are seeking to challenge the rules governing voter identification in the Belfast High Court tomorrow.
Two SDLP local council election candidates are seeking a judicial review which would allow European nationals to use their home nation identity cards to obtain a vote.
Under the current rules, only British and Irish passports, driving licences, travel cards or electoral identity cards are accepted to cast a vote.
Daniel Gouveia and Michael McGoldrick are standing for election to the Craigavon Borough Council. They claim that the requirements are discriminatory and breach European Treaty regulations.
A High Court judge will be asked to rule on the case ahead of the Assembly and local elections on Thursday.
Mr Gouveia has claimed that people are being denied a voice. He is a Portuguese national and has been living in Northern Ireland for nine years.
He said foreign nationals could get into Northern Ireland with an identity card, could register with an identity card but cannot use it to vote.
Daniel Gouveia has said that there were many migrant workers with just an identity card and without a passport.
