The Liberal Party's federal council is calling on the Morrison government to force voters to show identification on election day and to have people's names checked off on electronic lists.

The party will also tighten up its own processes at election time, with federal director Andrew Hirst saying there needs to be more thorough vetting of Liberal candidates in the wake of multiple controversies during the 2019 campaign.

Delegates at the party's annual federal council meeting on Saturday voted in favour of voters showing ID on polling day, amid reports some people are voting on behalf of others or voting more than once.

The push from the highest levels of the party's organisational wing follows a recent call from some government MPs who recommended the same change to the Electoral Act, as part of a parliamentary review of the 2016 federal election.
