Local Government: Elections

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what guidance his Department has produced on the criteria by which a photographic ID is deemed recognisable of the individual holding that identification.

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.
