VOTE 2024
2024 is a big year for democratic elections, both in the UK and worldwide.
On May 2nd 2024, voters across England and Wales will be going to the polls. Voters will elect their local councillors, Police and Crime Commissioners, London Assembly members, or mayoralties in eleven authorities.
It's also very likely that the General Election will take place this year.
If you want your voice to be heard in our democracy, you must vote. We know that our political system has serious flaws, but voting is an important part of changing that.
