Elections are our chance to affect politics and shape the decisions that, in turn, will shape our lives.

Politics affects - the music you listen to, sport, where you live, your night out, the food you eat and how you get about

If you don't vote other people will be making decisions about the issues that affect your life.

The electoral register is a list of the names and addresses of everyone who is entitled to vote. You need to be on the electoral register to vote in all UK elections and referendums.

A registration form is delivered to your home each year, roundabout August/September.
