Isn't this a chicken and egg problem? Without voter ID we don't know whether fraud has taken place or not.

That is a wider problem that should be fixed. Agreed that in the current state it would cause friction for people to vote.

No, they keep a track of who has turned up to vote, if you are putting extra votes in or voting in someone else's name then either the number of votes and number of voters wont tally or you'll start seeing a significant number of people who have voted twice, once from the genuine voter and once the person who was fraudulently voting in someone else's name.
