WHY SHOULD YOU VOTE?

Voting is the best way to make your voice heard on the issues that concern you. It is also your way of holding those that represent you to account.

Voting at elections is your chance to influence the decisions that affect you daily whether on local issues like schools, national issues like healthcare and on global issues like poverty and climate change.

“Don't forget people all over the world fought for their right to vote. So use your vote and help strengthen our democracy.”

Though elections are so important, only a third of young people vote, so you can do your part to end this negative trend.

You may feel that politics is not for you but, whether you know it or not, everyone has political opinions. There is more information on voting on this site and you can get more information on the issues by visiting some of our links.
