The general election is this Thursday, here are some things that may be useful to know: - Before you go to vote, make sure you have a photo ID that you can show to the staff. If you’re unsure what ID they will accept, visit this website: https://buff.ly/40zR1ba - You will be asked your name and address by the staff at your local polling station. If you’re not sure where your polling station is, it will be on the poll card sent to you through the post or you can visit this website and enter your postcode to find out: https://buff.ly/2I5d6Yr - You’ll be given a ballot paper containing a list of the people, parties or options you can vote for. If you’re struggling to decide who to vote for, this website will give you a list of questions and then let you know which party is more in line with what you want from your government: https://buff.ly/377RLd9 #GeneralElection2024 #YourVoteMatters

Great message. For anyone working in health or care, a reminder: 👇 "How does mental capacity affect the right to register to vote? A lack of mental capacity is not a legal incapacity to vote. Persons who meet the other registration qualifications are eligible for registration regardless of their mental capacity. Voting rights While electors with any level or no level of mental capacity may be registered to vote, the decision as to whether and how to vote at an election must be made by the elector themselves and not by any other person on their behalf. Those who care for or who otherwise make decisions on behalf of a person may not make decisions on voting" https://lnkd.in/ecfRqHFB #PromoteTheVote #HumanRights #SocialCare #Health #Care #SocialWork

Definitely not intending to get into politics on this platform, but if you’re living in the UK, *please* make sure you’ve registered to vote in the upcoming general election, before the June 17th deadline. It only takes 5 mins. Also, make sure your friends and family, especially those for whom this might be their first time voting, have done the same - everybody should have a chance to have a say in the future of the UK Edited to add: this is also the first election that will require photo ID to vote; if you don’t have any, you can still vote by applying for a Voter Authority Certificate, https://lnkd.in/easykm2P - deadline for that is the 26th:

Three things you must know about this year’s municipal election. 1) If there’s only one name listed (ie, an uncontested candidate), you DON’T have to cast a vote for it. Just leave it unchecked if you don’t support them. Don’t vote for candidates you don’t know / trust / want to win. 2). You have THREE VOTES for At-Large and ONE VOTE for your district candidates. That means you get FOUR votes total. So yes, vote for me AND Rachel Matthews for at large and a third candidate if you choose (or leave if blank). 3) Even if you live in an HOA that restricts yardsigns, you HAVE THE RIGHT to put one out 60 days before election til 6 days after election day.
