Votes: Voter ID Regulations

On 13th December 2022, the House of Lords debated the 2022 Voter ID Regulations. A vote was held on an amendment to the regulations, in which Bishops took part:

The Bishop of Chelmsford and the Bishop of St Albans took part in a vote on an amendment tabled by Baroness Pinnock:

Baroness Pinnock moved, as an amendment to the motion in the name of Baroness Scott of Bybrook, to leave out from “that” to the end and insert “this House declines to approve the draft Voter Identification Regulations 2022 as they will prevent legitimate electors from voting in elections and disproportionately affect disadvantaged groups”.

The amendment was disagreed. Content: 63 / Not Content: 210

The Bishop of Chelmsford and the Bishop of St Albans voted Content.
