The voter ID pilot schemes are part of a comprehensive programme of reform that will enhance public confidence in our elections, and strengthen electoral integrity. We will make an announcement in due course of which local authorities will pilot voter ID in May 2018. We are working with those local authorities to agree the forms of photo and non-photo ID that will be tested.
