IN a letter to our readers the Cllr Kevin Bentley, Chairman of the Local Government Association’s People and Places Board said:- “Councils are working around the clock to deliver the local elections and the new voter ID requirements, which is the biggest change to in-person voting in 150 years. The practical effort required to deliver this change in such a short timeframe should not be understated. We would urge members of the public to remember their photo ID when they come to vote and to be patient with hard-working polling staff if there are queues, or the process takes a little longer than usual. Many councils will be deploying additional staff to ensure queues are kept to a minimum and people can vote quickly and easily. It is vital that the implementation of voter ID is rigorously and transparently evaluated to ensure that lessons are learned ahead of future elections. We will be working with councils to understand how the process worked on the ground.”
