Hello

There are elections coming up on 6 May 2021, so make sure you are registered to vote.

It only takes five minutes to register online here - gov.uk/register-to-vote

The deadline to register to vote is 11:59pm on 19 April.

Everyone with a learning disability has the right to vote. But research (from The Electoral Commission who is in charge of elections) says that one in six people with a learning disability were not correctly registered to vote.

We also have some Easy Read guides to voting here - mencap.org.uk/get-involved/...

If you need advice about voting on the 6 May please give Mencap a call on 020 7696 6009.

thanks

Sarah
