The Electoral Commission acknowledged people faced 'challenges' as it promised a full report on the new requirement - as campaigners call for the new rule to be scrapped.

Passports, driving licences and blue badges are among the IDs permitted, as are the free certificates that could be applied for ahead of the vote.Mr Pullinger told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that while"out and about" on Thursday he"saw people being turned away and we know some people were unable to cast their vote because they didn't have the right documents".

The requirement for voter ID was already in place in Northern Ireland and, from October, the condition will be extended to UK general elections as well.
