Unit20: Support material

    Voting in Elections


The following fact sheets exist for use with this unit:





Find out about your local MP. A search of a web site would usually get you something. Find out what qualifications and what profession if any they had before being elected. Is there any thing in their background that makes them especially suited to being an MP?

If there is any current issue that especially interests the group write to their MP about it expressing their view. If there is no issue they would chose write to them expressing concern about the low level of financial support that goes to youth organisations from government.

Find out the boundaries of your local constituencies.
