Overview

Join the third session in a series of informative meetings - learn how voting systems currently work and how they could be reformed.

Democracy works best when everyone takes part - and voting is just the beginning.

Use Your Voice is a new series of free, thought-provoking conversations designed to help you understand how democracy really works and how you can influence political decisions as an active citizen.


This third session brings together a number of speakers from different organisations.

Together, we’ll examine:

  • How voting systems work
  • Why every vote should count and count equally, and why it doesn't
  • What difference it would make if every vote counted and counted equally
  • Who has access to the vote
  • Political literacy around voting systems


Taking place at Kensington Central Library beautiful lecture theatre, the session is designed to be welcoming, accessible and interactive. Audience members are encouraged to engage with the panel, ask questions and share perspectives - but listening is just as welcome.


This event is the third in a free public series focused on citizenship, participation and political empowerment. Whether you’re curious, frustrated, hopeful, or simply want to understand more, this conversation is for you.


Come listen. Come question. Come use your voice.
