Half of local authorities spent just 11p per voter on awareness campaigns for the new Voter ID requirements, research suggests.
Of those who declared a specified budget to inform voters of the changes, half of authorities spent only £10,000 or less, according to freedom of information (FOI) requests.
A local authority that might typically have around 90,000 electors would see the funding distributed at only 11p per head, research by Unlock Democracy showed.
