Recommendation 59
59
Introduce a voter vouching system for those lacking photo ID on election day
Recommendation
Alternatively, the Government should consider the Electoral Commission’s recommendation to introduce a vouching system, which would provide an emergency system for people who do not have, or find they have lost, an acceptable form of ID on the day of the election. However, we 73 are cognisant of the concerns raised by the Association of Electoral Administrators that it would add additional administrative burden. (Recommendation, Paragraph 152) Mis- and Dis- information Abuse and Intimidation
