All electors, who vote at a polling station, will be required to show an accepted form of photographic identification from Thursday 4 May 2023 before they receive a ballot paper and then cast their vote.
In Tower Hamlets this will occur for the first time from Thursday 2 May 2024 at the GLA polls.
There are no exceptions to this requirement and will also include those who are registered as anonymous electors.
If you act as a proxy for an elector, you will also need to show ID but will not have to provide ID for the person you are acting as a proxy for.
There is currently no requirement for postal voters to provide identification.
