This government is committed to reviewing and, where necessary, making changes to the voter identification policy to address any aspects that prevent or discourage legitimate electors from voting.
This review includes assessing data from research and consulting with stakeholders such as the Electoral Commission.
On the 14th of October the government laid the statutory instrument required to add the Veteran Card to the list of identification documents accepted in polling stations. Any further proposals for changes to the policy wil lbe brought forwards in due course.
