Elections Bill

Proceeding contribution from Jim Shannon (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Monday, 17 January 2022. It occurred during Debate on bills on Elections Bill.

On that point, the evidential base that the hon. Member for Broadland (Jerome Mayhew) referred to is very clear. There has been success in Northern Ireland and voting turnout has increased, but the statistics also show that 98% of voters already have sufficient ID in place for voting, and we are almost there. All we need is for the other 2% to be done, and Northern Ireland will achieve that goal of having everybody with an ID. If we can do it in Northern Ireland, honestly, we could do it here as well.
