Half of local authorities spent just 11p per person on Voter ID awareness campaigns

Mirror says Half of local authorities spent just 11p per voter on awareness campaigns for the new Voter ID requirements, research suggests.

Of those who declared a specified budget to inform voters of the changes, half of authorities spent only £10,000 or less, according to freedom of information (FOI) requests.

A local authority that might typically have around 90,000 electors would see the funding distributed at only 11p per head, research by Unlock Democracy showed.

Some 12.2% of authorities had shockingly spent nothing at all on Voter ID awareness at the time the FOIs were sent in March.
