Did you know there could be a General Election this academic year?

When students and young people turn up at elections, our voice is so powerful. We also have A LOT to vote for at the next General Election - we're struggling with the cost of living, with our housing, and with our mental health.

But the requirement to show voter ID in General Elections represents a new barrier to students and young people voting, so we want you to show up and be part of the biggest youth and student voter registration campaign EVER!

The first and most important thing you can do is register to vote. It takes 5 minutes, and all you need is your address and National Insurance Number.
