The number of Nottinghamshire voters turned away at elections over new ID rules

Councils across Nottinghamshire have confirmed how many people were turned away at the local elections for not having the correct voter ID. A new law passed in 2022 meant that for the first time, people voting in the elections earlier this month had to bring a form of photo ID along to their polling station.

Passports and driving licences could have been used, even if they were out of date, as long as the person still resembled the photo. Those without a valid form of ID were able to apply for a special certificate, though applications needed to have been made by the week before the vote.
