Voter Authority Certificates (VACs) are a new form of photo ID for use when voting in UK Parliamentary, PCC and English local elections. They are designed for people who don’t have another form of photo ID accepted at the polls.
Voters need to show photographic ID at polling stations in several types of UK elections. Those who try to vote in person at these elections without ID will be turned away and asked to come back to the polling station with it. Voters need to be registered to vote to take part in any UK election.
Some British citizens living abroad can register to vote in UK Parliamentary elections. These people can also vote in referendums that use the Parliamentary electoral register. British citizens living abroad can’t vote in other types of elections.
