Over 6 million eligible UK citizens are not signed up to vote. Their voice goes completely unheard in our politics.
We believe every voter should be registered.
Register Every Voter
Unregistered voters are most likely to be young people, renters and ethnic minority voters - their voice goes completely unheard in our politics.
Automatic voter enrolment systems are already in use in dozens of democracies around the world, including Canada, Australia and France.
The Electoral Commission and dozens of experts believe it’s the solution to fixing voter registration in the UK.
We need to persuade the Government to include Automatic Voter Registration in the Elections Bill expected later this year.
There’s no reason why it should be so hard to vote in the UK. Our antiquated Victorian era voter registration system should have been thrown out years ago.
Let's catch up with the rest of the world and get millions of missing voters signed up to vote.
