Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they will take to enable voters in Northern Ireland who already have a form of identification to obtain electoral identity cards.

The Electoral Office for Northern Ireland is responsible for the supply of electoral identity cards in Northern Ireland.

There has been a requirement to show photographic voter ID in Northern Ireland since 2003 and there is a comprehensive list of accepted documents to bring to the polling station. If an individual does not have any of these forms of photographic ID, they may apply for an electoral identity card.
