Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, which local authorities have expressed interest to his Department in conducting a voter ID pilot in polling stations for the May 2018 local elections.

The May 2018 voter ID pilot schemes are part of a programme of reform that will enhance
public confidence in our elections and strengthen electoral integrity. The opportunity to
pilot voter ID in May 2018 was offered to all local authorities in Great Britain and on 16
September we announced that Woking, Gosport, Bromley and Watford have committed to
do so. In addition, Tower Hamlets will be piloting measures to improve the integrity of the
postal vote process.
