Cevap

The correct answer is that they can still register to vote by providing alternative evidence to verify their identity.
The Individual Electoral Registration system is designed to be secure but accessible. If an applicant is eligible to vote but lacks a National Insurance number, the electoral registration office will ask for other forms of evidence (such as a passport, driving licence, or other official documents) to verify their identity and complete the registration.
