Voter ID data


From 2023, rules were introduced requiring voters to produce photo ID to vote in a polling station. Please visit the Electoral Commission’s website for further information.

This applies to 4 May 2023 election, and sets out the publishable data relating to Voter ID.

This data is taken from the Voter Identification Evaluation Form (VIDEF) which records information relating to the voter identification of electors who requested a ballot paper.
