Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, whether he has made a recent assessment of the potential impact of voter ID measures on the levels of voter ID fraud in Northern Ireland.

The Elections Act 2022 makes no changes to the voter ID measures in Northern Ireland with the exception of the addition of two new documents to the existing list of acceptable evidence that may be produced at the polling station. The two new documents are the Half Fare SmartPass and the biometric immigration document.

The Electoral Commission will continue to report on their assessment of any electoral fraud following elections in Northern Ireland.
