Local councils have started publishing data on how many voters were turned away last Thursday because they didn't have acceptable ID.

In Walsall, 1240 were turned away, 473 returned with ID, so 767 didn't vote.

In Bradford 1261 turned away , 763 returned, 498 didn't vote. The figures provided by these two councils are among the highest published so far, but there is clear evidence that across England, people did not vote due to a lack of ID.
