Students make up 10% of the voting population. We have a powerful voice at the ballot box.

 

Our future will be built by the students and young people of today. But only if they Turn Up and make their vote count at elections.

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

There are barriers to students and young people voting, so NUS launched Turn Up, the UK's biggest youth and student voter registration campaign ever, to make sure you have all the information you need to vote.
