The Government is committed to making sure that our electoral system is fit for the future.<\/p>

<\/p>

Orders enabling the pilot scheme to require voters to present identification before voting at<\/p>

a polling station will be published on GOV.UK<\/a>.<\/p>

<\/p>

The orders derive from the Representation of the People Act 2000, which makes provision for local authorities to submit proposals to pilot innovative electoral administration practices at local<\/p>

government elections.<\/p>

<\/p>

The success of the voter ID pilots in May this year proves that voter ID is a reasonable and<\/p>

proportionate measure. On 3 November the Government announced that eleven local<\/p>

authorities across England would be taking part in voter ID pilots for the 2019 local elections:<\/p>

<\/p>

The pilots will give us a deeper understanding of how voter ID will work on a wider scale and<\/p>

what works best for voters.<\/p>
