2.2 Who can vote?

In the UK, whether or not someone can vote depends on four key factors:

• Where they live
• The type of election
• Their age
• Their nationality

These rules vary across the four nations of the UK and can feel confusing at first, but once you break them down, they become much clearer. In this training we are providing you with information for all four UK nations. This is just for your information only, when you are explaining how elections work to your young people we suggest just focusing on the information they need to know in their nation.
