English term or phrase: donkey vote

Should photo identification be required to vote?

And what difference would a photo make? After-all a 'Donkey Vote' is still a donkey vote with or without a photo, and I'm sure there would be many, many people who find this

التصويت الغبي/الأعمى

Explanation:
The donkey vote term is used to describe a ballot paper
marked with preferences for candidates
without consideration of their policies or
abilities. A classic donkey vote is one
which records preferences straight down
the ballot paper in the same order as the
names printed.
