Resources for schools and colleges
The Electoral Commission, a politically impartial and an independent organisation which oversees elections and regulates political finance in the UK, has partnered with organisations to produce resources for schools and colleges to use and share with their students.
If you are planning on running an election or referendum, we can provide guidance or advice.
To make an election or referendum as realistic as possible, and subject to service demand, we can provide ‘official’ election notices and documentation and lend equipment such as polling booths, stationery and ballot boxes for use in the school’s polling station. Please note these would need to be collected from, and returned to Beech Hurst, Weyhill Road, Andover, SP10 3AJ. Please contact us if you would like our help.
