We’re excited to announce the theme of Welcome to Your Vote Week 2025: get informed and get involved. We worked with our youth voice champions from across the UK to develop ideas for the theme. Young people highlighted being informed and engaging with politics and democracy at a local level as important to them. Every year we ask schools, colleges and youth groups to join us in celebrating democracy by delivering democratic education with their students and young people. This Welcome to Your Vote Week, support young people to access trustworthy information to get informed about politics, democracy and elections, and take the first steps to get involved locally. Whether it’s discovering who represents them in their area, exploring the issues that matter most to them, or making a positive impact in their community, there are lots of ways young people can get informed and get involved. 📅 Welcome to Your Vote Week 2025 (10 – 16 March) Sign up now to take part: https://lnkd.in/eKya-7nE

Voters overwhelmingly support eliminating closed, partisan primaries. 90% of respondents to a 2023 Citizen Data Poll agreed that all voters should be able to vote for any candidate regardless of party. 76% of respondents from that same poll agreed a candidate must earn a majority of the vote in order to win an election. Across the country, voters are speaking out about closed, partisan primaries that disenfranchise millions of voters and produce politicians who do not represent the majority of the electorate. In this historic election year as six states pursue open, all-candidate election reform measures to abolish party primaries, voters will have the opportunity to use their voices with their votes. Learn about each state’s ballot initiative and how, together, we can solve the primary problem: https://bit.ly/3NnObBU #ElectionReform #Election2024

It's a well-known fact that voting is essential. While national elections often dominate the news, local elections are equally crucial and, in many ways, have a more direct impact on your daily life. They shape your community, influence your taxes, and determine the quality of your local services. Why does your local vote matter? Whether it is the county, city, village, or the local school board - these offices have a significant impact on your community and daily life, including property taxes, education, public safety, and housing concerns, and how priorities are set in your county, city, or village. Take advantage of your right to shape the community you live and do business in by voting on Tuesday, August 20, 2024. https://lnkd.in/erG8zv6X

Today marks more than just a checkmark on a ballot; it's a profound statement of belief in the power of democracy. By casting my vote in the general elections, I am contributing to the collective voice that shapes the future of our nation. Each vote represents not only personal conviction but also a commitment to the values and principles that define us as a society. The importance of voting cannot be overstated. It is the cornerstone of democracy, the foundation upon which our freedoms and rights are built. Through voting, we hold our leaders accountable, express our preferences on critical issues, and ensure that the government reflects the will of the people it serves. But voting is more than just a responsibility; it is a privilege that millions around the world still yearn for. It is a tribute to the countless individuals who fought and sacrificed for the right to participate in the democratic process. It is a testament to the power of collective action and the belief that every voice matters. As I cast my ballot today, I am reminded of the immense privilege and responsibility that comes with being a citizen of a democratic nation. I am reminded of the duty we owe to ourselves, to each other, and to future generations to actively engage in the political process and to safeguard the freedoms that define us. So, to my fellow citizens, I urge you: seize this opportunity to make your voice heard. Exercise your right to vote, not just for yourself, but for those who cannot. Let us stand together in solidarity, united in our commitment to democracy, justice, and equality for all. #ElectionDay #CivicDuty #Democracy #Vote

‘Democracy is not a spectator sport’ – George P. Shultz As we grow closer to the election, it is important to remember this concept - that there is civic participation necessary to uphold democracy. Democracy also depends on politicians and officials accepting that they don't have a right to govern – but that power is given to them temporarily by the people. One of the simplest ways to participate is to honor your right to vote in a free and fair election! https://lnkd.in/gFjbaSsD
