Ballot paper refusal list and voter identification evaluation form
You must provide each polling station with the Ballot Paper Refusal List document in order to capture information relating to the voter identification requirements.1
The BPRL is used throughout the day to capture and record information in relation to the voter ID requirement:
Document
Information collected
BPRL
Number of ballot papers refused on grounds of:
the photographic ID was not a good likeness
the PO believed the photographic ID was a forgery
the elector failed to answer the prescribed questions satisfactorily
The BPRL would be updated if an elector later returns with an acceptable form of photographic ID
CROs may ask POs to collect data using the VIDEF. Although it is not a statutory requirement to collect this information, you may decide to collect this information locally in order to understand the operation of the voter ID requirements in your area. Where you decide to collect VIDEF information at these polls, you will not be required to collate the data and submit it to the Secretary of State or to the Commission and there will be no restrictions on the publication of the VIDEF data.
