Elections Act 2022

The UK Government implemented significant changes to the current electoral system. The Elections Act 2022 outlines several measures which will affect the way that we vote and how we conduct elections.

One of the biggest changes was the requirement for individuals to show photographic identification (such as a passport or drivers licence) when they vote at a polling station.

The sections below provide a summary of the changes. You can find out more about the Elections Act 2022 by visiting the UK Government website.
