<p>This Government is determined to strengthen the integrity of our electoral system
and give the public confidence that our elections are secure and fit for the 21st
century. To that end we are committed to introducing identification to vote at polling
stations in Great Britain. In Northern Ireland, voters are already required to produce
photographic identification.</p><p>The voter ID pilots were a success and the overwhelming
majority of electors cast their vote without a problem. There was no indication that
any consistent demographic was adversely affected by the use of voter ID.</p><p>We
will continue to work with the Electoral Commission and other stakeholders, including
charities and civil society organisations, to make sure that voter ID works for all
voters. For any voter who does not have one of the required forms of photographic
ID, a local elector ID will be available, free of charge, from their local authority.</p>
