Resources for first-time voters

What are the issues you care about? The things that make you angry or hopeful, frustrated or determined to change? 

Whether it’s climate change and biodiversity; urgent action on mental health; equal chances for everyone; racism; funding for higher education or the NHS; or something completely different – they are all affected by politics. 

Huge decisions about funding and priorities for the things we care about most will be made by the people that we elect at this general election. These decisions will touch every one of our lives, every single day.

Voting is far from the only way to influence these decisions. But it’s a good place to start.

This information is designed for Catholic first-time voters – whether you have turned 18 or whether you have become a British citizen since the last general election – however it’s useful for everyone.
