Elections Bill

Proceeding contribution from Kemi Badenoch (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 17 January 2022. It occurred during Debate on bills on Elections Bill.

I did look into this issue, and the reason why we have not accepted it is that the process for getting travel concessionary passes for older voters is more rigorous and robust than that for young people. The new robust checks that we would have at the threshold for voter ID are met by the older voters’ concessionary passes but not by the young voters’ passes. That is why this is the case.
