The Government is committed to introducing Voter ID to strengthen the integrity of our electoral system and give the public confidence that our elections are secure and fit for the 21st century.

We will bring forward legislation enabling the implementation of Voter ID and wider electoral integrity measures as stated in the Queen’s Speech. Further announcements will be made in the usual way.
