Government expert explains how to vote in general election even if you have lost your ID

An elections expert has explained how you can still vote in the general election even if you have lost your ID.

This election is the first time in the UK that everyone wanting to vote in person will have to show a correct form of photo ID before casting a ballot – this includes a passport, driving licence and blue badge.

However, if you have lost your identification, you can apply for an emergency proxy vote until 5pm on Thursday 4 July (polling day).

Alex Thomas, programme director at the Institute for Government, explained the process for applying during an appearance on Good Morning Britain.
