An Urgent Question was granted asking the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities if he will make a statement on arrangements in place to record the number of voters who attend at a polling station and are denied a vote because they are not in possession of valid ID. In April 2022 the Elections Act 2022 was passed which requires voters in to show photo ID before being issued a ballot paper in polling stations at UK Parliamentary elections, local council elections and referendums in England and police and crime commissioner elections in England and Wales. Polling station staff will be recording details of any electorates turned away to provide data for the evaluation of the policy.
