Most Doncaster residents will first see the rule in practice during this year’s general election, in the absence of local elections last year.

When voting at a polling station, residents will be required to bring a passport, photo driving licence, blue badge, older persons bus pass or voter ID card.

Last year, the council sent 64,500 flyers to homes with information on how to apply for a voter ID.
