Voting, democracy and politics can be confusing. Language can sometimes be unclear and old-fashioned. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed.
These resources will help you to feel more confident and knowledgeable about elections, and how you can get involved in democracy.
Politics can feel difficult to talk about. There are a lot of different views on big and small issues. It could feel that you’re the only one who thinks a certain way and you might feel worried about sharing your opinions.
It’s easy to avoid talking about serious topics. However, the more we talk about them, the more we can learn and the bigger impact we can make.
When talking about politics and democracy, it’s always important to be respectful of other views. You might think differently to those around you, whether they are your parents or carers, siblings, or friends.
Remember to respect the person you’re speaking to and to listen to what they have to say too. It’s good to feel passionately about something and it’s important to treat people fairly.
Local elections are taking place across England on 4 May, and those intending to vote at a polling station will need to show photo ID to receive a ballot paper. The deadline to apply for a certificate before the May elections will be 5pm on Tuesday 25 April.
Apply for photo ID to vote (called a ‘Voter Authority Certificate’) – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
The village hall is a valued part of our parish community. If you can spare some time, you could help shape its future.
