Why Voting Matters - Debating the Issues
The Electoral Commission has proudly partnered with The Politics Project to provide a lesson around our theme for Welcome To Your Vote Week, chosen by young people: Why Voting Matters. This resource has been created for schools in England.
This resource explores how politics impacts young people’s daily lives, how they can engage with democracy, and gives them a space to debate the issues that matter the most to them.
