Fresh evidence from the government raised difficulties for our claim, so we’ll be asking the court to re-examine its decision on costs.
The Electoral Commission says that some groups are finding it harder to vote, but the Tories are still refusing to change the rules on ID.
The Government’s new rules are blocking a registered voter from exercising her democratic rights. We’re challenging these biased regulations before it’s too late.
The Electoral Commission says that voter ID rules will impact people with lower incomes, with disabilities and from minority ethnic backgrounds. But the Government says its reforms are ‘very encouraging’.
Cross-party group says election officials took action that was ‘clearly discriminatory’, and calls for more forms of ID to be accepted

Data released today shows the wide-scale impact of the Government’s new laws, which risk denying a voice to marginalised groups of people in the UK.
Good Law Project is concerned about how the Elections Act 2022 could specifically disenfranchise young people. The vast majority of voter IDs approved by the Government are available to older people, whilst very few are targeted at people under 60.
