What is Your Vote Matters?
The Your Vote Matters pack has been developed by Hansard Society and Homeless Link to promote voter registration amongst social housing tenants and people in homelessness services.
Why does voter registration matter?Lowerlevelsofregistrationamongstsocial housing tenants and people in homelessness services means that those who are not registered may not have their voices heard by those in power.
Beingregisteredgivessocialhousingtenants and people in homelessness services a say on theissuesthataffecttheireverydaylives,whetherit’shousing,localschools,orbincollections.Ifanissue comes up they care about and want to have asayon,ifthey’renotregisteredtheywon’thave a voice when it really matters.
