Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what estimate his Department has made of the (a) number of voters and (b) proportion of the electorate that were turned away in areas taking part in voter ID trials during the local elections.

Voter ID is part of a body of work this Government is delivering to strengthen the integrity
of our electoral system and give the public confidence our elections are secure and fit
for the 21st century.

In line with the 2018 pilot evaluation, fully validated figures will be published as part of both
the Cabinet Office and the independent Electoral Commission's full evaluations of the
2019 voter ID pilots in the summer. We will be looking carefully at the evaluations to help
inform our next steps and shape how the final policy will look when it is introduced.
