Young people and democracy
The Government plans to lower the voting age to 16 in England during this Parliament. That means more young voices shaping the future - and we want to make sure those voices are heard loud and clear!
At Test Valley, we’re passionate about helping young people get involved in politics and democracy. Why? Because your choices matter, and they help shape the world around you.
We’re keen to work with schools, colleges and community groups to share everything you need to know, including:
- How voting works - it's easier than you think
- How decisions are made - and who makes them
- How young people can be part of those decisions - recognising the power you have
- Why your voice matters - because change starts with you
