Another election?!
Posted 96 Months Ago
Yesterday the Prime Minister announced the government's intention to hold a snap general election on 8th June. 
We all might have voter fatigue with a Scottish Independence Referendum, General Election, Scottish Election and an EU referendum all being held very recently. It's really important we head back to the polls though and take part in the new General Election. Any opportunity to vote in an election is your chance to have your say and change things.
Local and national government elections have a huge impact on everybody's lives. So it's really important to vote.
So what's happening?
There will be a General Election across the United Kingdom on 8th June.
There are also Local Council Elections happening on 4th May.
I'm not registered to vote
It takes 5 minutes to vote online at https://www.gov.uk/register-to-vote. That's the same amount of time to make a cuppa!
You won't be able to vote in the Local Council Elections but you can still register to vote in time for the general election.
Get involved
1. Register to vote if you haven't done so already
2. Keep in touch with the Union's Facebook page and website. We'll be posting updates about the Elections.
3. Get involved with campaigning if you're really interested in politics. Contact the local branch of your political party of choice. You can help out with leafleting, calling voters, attending events etc.
4. Encourage your friends and family to vote.
