A GENERAL ELECTION WILL HAPPEN BEFORE THE END OF JANUARY 2025

Why does this matter to students? 

The future will be built by the students and young people of today, but only if you turn up and make your voices heard.  

Voting gives power, influence and a stake in society  

When politicians make decisions, they look at who is on the electoral register and who votes.  It is crucial that all young people and students are registered to vote. 

You must be registered to vote

It only takes 5 minutes and all you need is your National Insurance number.
Do You have Voter ID?
You now need to show photo ID to vote at polling stations in the next General Elections in England and Wales. This was already the law in Northern Ireland and does not extend to Scotland.

All voters need to show photo ID to vote but student ID’s or youth travel cards aren’t accepted. 

The photo ID needs to be the original version and not a photocopy.   Accepted forms of ID include: Passport, Drivers licence, blue badge, PASS card, Voter Authority Certificate and more.

NUS have teamed up with Citizen Card to offer students a free voter ID with the code NUS

You can get a voter ID from Citizen Card (usually £15) for free using the code NUS or by clicking this link

Join our campaign to turn up, register to vote, get our photo IDs and get out on election day! 

We will send you key info on voting, reminders of dates and how together we can turn up for our future.
