Recommendation
To mitigate any potential discriminatory impacts of a voter ID requirement, it is necessary to take a joined-up approach that both promotes and facilitates registration and ensures the highest possible take-up of the Voter Card amongst individuals who otherwise may not have photo ID. The Government should consider amending the Elections Bill to make provision for automatic voter registration. (Paragraph 48) Legislative Scrutiny: Elections Bill 21
