BLACK VOTES MATTER

OPERATION YOUNG VOTE


BLACKLIVESMATTER.UK is NOT operating or acting as a member of nor connected with any political party. We are non-partisan and fundamentally a non-political platform, however in a democracy all citizens have the right to know and young people should be educated on their right to vote in a democracy as a full participating citizen of the United Kingdom

OPERATION 18 VOTE

Will my vote matter when I'm eligible to vote?


You see the thing is I may not care now age 17, but I'm told I might when the general election comes around in 4yrs time when I'm 21!


WHO CAN REGISTER?

To Register to Vote:


You must be aged 16 or over (or 14 or over in Scotland and Wales).


You must also be one of the following:

  • a British citizen
  • an Irish or EU citizen living in the UK
  • a Commonwealth citizen who has permission to enter or stay in the UK, or who does not need permission
  • a citizen of another country living in Wales who has permission to enter or stay in the UK, or who does not need permission


You can vote when you’re 18 or over. If you live in Scotland or Wales, you can vote in some elections when you’re 16 or over.

Youth votes could actually sway the next election; young votes can make a difference so when the time comes you can make it count!!


So yes, youth votes will matter in the next election 2024

Use your voice, learn about politics, talk politics and think about leaving our mark on the ballot and in history for yours and next generation...

What do I need to know?


You’ll be asked for your National Insurance number (but you can still register if you do not have one).


After you’ve registered, your name and address will appear on the electoral register.
