A government scheme requiring voters to show identification at polling stations have been labelled unnecessary or appropriate.
The new rule means that people will need to bring a certain form of ID – which include passports and drivers’ licenses – or they won’t be able to vote. It will come into effect at local elections in less than two months.
Residents in Plymouth have three weeks left to register to vote so that they can have their say at this year’s local elections in May.
Everyone that is registered before Friday 7 February will be included in the next Register publication. Individuals that do not register will not be included in the Register and will not be able to vote.
