Written question asked by Grahame Morris (Labour) on Tuesday, 14 March 2023, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Friday, 17 March 2023 (named day). It was answered by Dehenna Davison (Conservative) on Monday, 20 March 2023 on behalf of the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities.


Voter Authority Certificates

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, how many people have applied in England for the Voter Authority Certificate as of 1 March 2023; how many applications have been rejected for a Certificate; and whether his Department has made an estimate of the number of voters that will need a certificate.

Answer

I refer the Hon. Member to the UQ response here, to the Cabinet Office published survey on levels of ownership of photographic identification, and to the New Burdens funding methodology for the Elections Act 2022 available here.

Information regarding applications for Voter Authority Certificates is published online. The rejection of an application is a matter for the relevant Electoral Registration Officer.
