The London mayoral election is taking place this Thursday and for the first time Londoners will have to show photo ID to cast their votes.

Under new rules brought in as part of the Elections Act 2022, every voter must now show an identity document at the polling station.

The government says this is necessary to combat the risk of in-person voter fraud, and the rules first took effect at last year’s local elections in England.
