Following an act passed in Parliament in 2022 which came into force in May 2023, voters are now required to show photo ID.

This is the first time that voters will have to show their ID in order to vote in a general election.

Accepted forms of photo ID include a passport, driving licence, blue badge, freedom pass, and voter authority certificate. 

According to the Electoral Commission, photo ID can still be used if it's out of date, as long as it looks like you and matches the same name you used to register to vote.

A full list of accepted IDs is available on the Electoral Commission website.
