 Vote in your local UKYP election
UKYP elections generally take place between December and February each year in most parts of the UK. Members of Youth Parliament are elected to represent all young people living in the area. Over 1 million young people, aged 11-18, have voted in UKYP elections over the last two years. To find out when and where you can vote, please click here, contact your local youth service or send an email to elections@ukyouthparliament.org.uk
 Stand for election
If you are aged 11-18 and want to have a greater involvement with UKYP, then why not consider standing for election as a Member of Youth Parliament (MYP)? Once elected, MYPs are responsible for representing the views of all young people in their area. MYPs will take part in projects, campaigns and events, put the views of young people forward, attend a national sitting and much, much more! For more information on becoming an MYP, please click here. To find out dates of upcoming UKYP elections please click here.
 Support our campaigns
There are many things you can do to support our campaigns – sign petitions, complete surveys, send letters, spread the word – all of which are vital to their success. Visit the campaign area of the UKYP website.
