Register to vote by 18 June if you want to vote in the General Election

Voter Registration Week is fast approaching (9 to 18 June) and Citizens UK, supported by the UK Democracy Fund, has set up a Voter Registration Champion Scheme through which we aim to mobilise a movement of civil society organisations, community groups and employers to make sure at-risk voters – many of them young people – can exercise their right to vote at the next General Election. Here’s a link to our website for information.

We’re asking every organisation that can, to do three simple things in Voter Registration Week (June 9 -18):

1. Get your people election-ready: Engage everyone you can in your organisation with our resources to help ensure they are registered to vote, have the right Voter ID, and are encouraged to turnout to vote
2. Spread the word: Encourage and enable other people and organisations in your networks to become Voter Registration Champions and participate in Voter Registration Week (June 9-18)
3. Measure the impact: Let us know how many people you can get election-ready to the best of your organisation’s ability – so we know what progress we are making towards our target of 300,000.

Here is a quick Voter Registration Champion form you can fill in which also includes a link to resources:

Once we receive your form, you will get a VRC badge, be listed on our VRC website (if you want to) and have access to materials for our social media drive.

Accrediting as a Voter Registration Champion is quick and easy, and a great way to publicly celebrate the work you are doing to support democratic participation in your community and join a non-partisan movement seeking to make sure 300,000 at-risk voters can exercise their right to vote.
