Your Vote Matters
Okay, let's be real. Politics might seem super boring, like watching paint dry. But trust us, voting is where you get to shape the world you live in! It's about choosing the people who make decisions on the things that matter to you - parks, buses, recycling, youth spaces, community safety, and loads more.
Everything on this page has been designed by young people for young people so that you can run an event to encourage more young people to get involved in our democracy and elections. You could run an event in your school, college, youth club, sports team, faith group, or any space where young people come together. No experience needed. Just curiosity, creativity, and the courage to get people involved.

Resources
Your voice matters!
When young people engage in politics they create change. That's why the Youth Voice Network have created these easy to use resources. We've designed them so that you can take the lead and run an event in your community that shows your peers why elections and voting matter. It is Welcome to Your Vote Week 8-15 March. Let's use this opportunity to run events across the country and make sure that young people's voices are heard!
