Our Home Our Vote
We believe every resident should have a right to vote. Agree?
Over 1 million residents in England and Northern Ireland do not have the right to vote at all.
Over 4 million residents cannot vote in General Elections in the UK.
Want to change this?
They are our friends from countries like Brazil 🇧🇷, the US 🇺🇸, Syria 🇸🇾, Ukraine 🇺🇦 and many many more.
They live, work, study, and pay taxes in the UK. Yet, they have no right to vote at all.
We are campaigning for all residents in the UK - regardless of where they were born, to have the right to vote, and have a say in issues that affect them.

Why we believe in Residence-Based Voting Rights (RBVR)
FAIR APPROACH
Democracy is best served, when it is fair and equal.
It works best when we can all participate.
Yet, our current voting system only enfranchises some Migrant voters; creating unequal access to democracy across migrant communities.
Migrants are key members of our society. They must have a say in how they are governed, especially at the local level where change is so directly seen.
SIMPLER SYSTEM
Our current voter rules are complex and unnecessarily complicated.
The different rules on who can vote in what elections causes confusion amongst voters, activists and even politicians.
Extending the franchise ensures that this complex system is simplified, making voting easier and more accessible for all.
LEVELLING UP
In Scotland and Wales, residence-based voting rights is a reality for all residents.
Countries including Belgium, New Zealand, and South Korea have chosen the same path.
England and Northern Ireland should follow the lead and extend the franchise.
