Recommendation
It is difficult to assess at this stage whether the Voter Card scheme will mitigate the potentially discriminatory impacts of the requirement that voters show photo ID at polling stations. To enable effective scrutiny, the Government should produce the regulations containing the details of the Voter Card scheme before the Elections Bill reaches the Committee Stage in the House of Commons.
