Truth from the youth

Voting has now begun on deciding the UK Youth Parliament’s (UKYP) three national campaigns.

Once decided, these campaigns are going to be massive! But they need our help to decide what the campaigns are going to be!

Voting will finish on April 7. The six most popular campaigns will then be voted on by members of the Youth Parliament at an historic event at the House of Lords on May 2.

Register now

Any young person aged 11-18 can vote. To vote you must register on the UKYP website. Registration is quick and easy – it should take no longer than a minute.

The issues

There are 14 different campaign ideas to choose from including

• Reducing the voting age to 16
• Cheaper public transport for young people
• Improving sex and relationships education in schools
• Abolishing university tuition fees
• Having one single age when young people are deemed an adult

So, what issue is most important to you? What campaign would make the biggest difference to young people in the UK?

It’s your call! But to have your say, you must register on the website.

Let’s get as many young people to vote as possible, so please let five friends aged 11-18 know about this. There is also a facebook group to help promote the vote.
