Elections: Proof of Identity
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 30 July 2024 to Question 1159 on General Election 2024: Proof of Identity, what steps she has taken to tackle inconsistencies in voter ID rules.
Answered by Alex Norris
As our manifesto made clear, the government will address the inconsistencies in the voter identification policy. We have already committed to adding the HM Armed Forces Veteran Card to the list of documents that are accepted at the polling station. We are continuing to assess and review the policy and if any further changes are found to be necessary or appropriate, we will bring forward proposals for them in due course.
