answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/04/2018 answer text <p>The British public deserves to have confidence in our democracy. There is clearly the potential for electoral fraud in the systems we have and that undermines confidence and promotes perceptions of vulnerability.</p><p>The volunteer local authorities who will pilot voter identification at the local elections in May 2018 chose the forms of photographic and non photographic identification that they believe best suit the needs of their electors. Those local authorities have worked collaboratively with Cabinet Office to design pilots that will support the evaluation of a range of identification options. Information regarding the number of people with photo identification in the piloting local authority areas is not held by the Government.</p><p>No-one will need to purchase identification documents to be able to vote and the identification requirements will not be limited to a passport or driving licence. Voters will be able to use a wide variety of ID, from marriage certificates and passports to bus passes and bank cards, depending on where they live. If voters do not have the required ID local authorities are providing alternative or replacement methods, free of charge, to ensure that no one is disenfranchised. Local authorities have notified every eligible voter by including information of the ID requirement on their poll card.</p> answering member constituency Norwich North answering member printed Chloe Smith question first answered 30/04/2018 17:04:05 answering member 1609 label Biography information for Chloe Smith
