Voters in England and Wales have until 5pm on Wednesday to apply for a special certificate if they do not have the correct form of photo ID to participate in next week’s elections. Valid forms of photo ID include passports, driving licences, blue badges, and older person’s bus passes. The Electoral Commission, which oversees elections in the UK, encourages those who do not have the right forms of ID to apply for a voter authority certificate as soon as possible to ensure they can participate in the elections.
