Is it important to vote and why?

Prepare your students for the vote at 16 and win great prizes!

As the Government plans to lower the voting age to 16 for all UK elections, we have developed new teaching resources to help prepare students.

Help them move beyond the headlines and become champions of creative civic ideas and solutions.

This new, free education programme with the Electoral Commission provides everything you need to help your students answer this important question: “Is it important to vote and why?”. The resources support citizenship, English (oracy) and British Values (democracy).

Plus, your school and students can win great prizes in our ’60-second democracy challenge’ competition.
