# No ID, No Vote!

The way we vote has changed

It's crucial that all eligible voters in the UK aren't caught out by the Voter ID law and are aware about the requirement and the way it may affect them.

No ID, No Vote!

We aim to raise awareness about the requirement to show a valid photo ID before voting in most UK elections including the General Election.

Voting changes

The introduction of Voter ID as a requirement has changed the rules and the way the voting process operates for the public.
# Promoting Awareness

Let's ensure every voice is heard

The Electoral Commission's Report on the May 2023 local elections in England found that 3% of non-voters did not have accepted ID, required to vote. The same report also noted that 0.25% of voters (approximately 14,000 people) were turned away due to a lack of Voter ID.

Our goal is to make all UK voters aware of the Voter ID requirements introduced in 2022, so they can cast their vote.

The 'No ID, No Vote!' campaign focuses on:

publicising the need for photo ID before voting
informing about proving identity at polling stations
guiding on how to obtain a Voter ID free of charge

# Helping those in need

Supporting people to meet the Voter ID requirement

Some individuals may face barriers created by the new requirement and will require support to obtain a valid ID. Organisations working directly with voters, including local authorities and charities, can help voters make sure they have acceptable photo ID ahead of any election.

National Union of Students and Democracy Classroom encourage anyone without Voter ID to apply for a free CitizenCard PASS Card.
