What Types of Photo ID Are Accepted for Voting?

AI Summary

To vote in some elections in Scotland, including UK parliamentary elections, you need to present a valid photo ID. Here's a table of accepted forms of photo ID you can use:

Type of Photo ID
Passport
Driving licence (including provisional licence)
Blue Badge
Certain concessionary travel cards (Scottish National Entitlement Card)
Identity card with PASS mark
Biometric immigration document
Defence identity card
Certain national identity cards

You only need to show one form of ID, and it must be the original, not a photocopy. The name on your ID should match the name you registered to vote. If you don't have an accepted form of photo ID, you can apply for a free Voter Authority Certificate by the deadline of 5pm, 6 working days before the election. For more details or to apply for the Voter Authority Certificate, you can check the East Lothian electoral page.
