Asked

Communities and Local Government, if she will make an estimate of the number of people who were turned away from polling stations after attempting to use a shotgun certificate as voter ID on 4 July 2024.

Reply

As our manifesto made clear, the Government will address the inconsistencies in voter identification that prevent legitimate electors from voting, specifically including veterans of HM Armed Forces. We are considering what changes to make in order to achieve this and will bring forward proposals in due course. The Electoral Commission is the independent electoral regulator and will be reporting on the administration of the May local elections and the recent General Election. This will include the proportion of individuals turned away for lack of accepted identification. We anticipate publication of their initial findings on voter ID in September and their full election report later in the year.
