Our Media Statement

Vote16 UK applauds the government's decision to expand the franchise, providing 16 and 17 year olds the opportunity to vote in all UK elections. We must rebuild trust between young people and political institutions, and this policy can help in that process and is a solution which has been shown to increase democratic engagement and participation.

As part of the government's manifesto pledge, it is encouraging to see the government has actively taken the first step in accounting for young people's views in the democracy process. We look forward to engaging further with the government to ensure young people's opinions are directly heard over the coming months and make this policy a success.
