Election 2019

Who can vote?

You must be registered to vote, be at least 18 on polling day in England and Wales or 16 in Scotland, be resident in Britain and be British or a Commonwealth or a European Union citizen.

How do I vote?

If you are registered to vote you should have received a polling card telling you where you should go to cast your vote on:

Thursday 12th December 2019


Democracy:

Britain is a democracy - this means that the people in Britain vote for the people who make the laws and decide how the country is run. If we didn't have a democracy, just one person might be able to make all the laws and that would not be fair.


Who will you vote for?
