The UK Government has introduced a requirement for voters to show photo ID when voting at a polling station at some elections.
This new requirement will apply for the first time at the local elections taking place in some areas of England on Thursday 4 May 2023.
Some groups are more likely to experience barriers with this change and may need support to access photo ID.
Organisations working directly with voters can help them make sure they have photo ID ahead of the elections.
