Phase one is complete; with all Service leavers since December 2018 automatically receiving a recognition card from the Ministry of Defence (MOD) as part of their discharge process.

We will be engaging with veterans over the coming months to participate in this testing phase.

uin	169382
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/03/2023 answer text <p>Currently, Veterans’ Recognition Cards are not on the list of approved photographic ID for use in polling stations. This list is set in secondary legislation and further legislation would be required to add the Veterans’ Recognition Cards. A comprehensive list of the accepted forms of identification is available at the following link: <a href="https://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/i-am-a/voter/voter-id/accepted-forms-photo-id" target="_blank">https://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/i-am-a/voter/voter-id/accepted-forms-photo-id</a>.</p><p> </p><p>Consideration will be given in the future to including the Veteran’s Recognition Card on the list of approved ID for use in polling stations, once the rollout of cards to pre-2018 veterans is complete. However, in the meantime, there is a wide range of different types of ID on the list, so a lack of Recognition Card should not act as a barrier to veterans being able to vote.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Wiltshire answering member printed Dr Andrew Murrison question first answered 23/03/2023 11:56:51 answering member 1466 label Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison
