UK Youth Parliament Elections
On Thursday 5 March young people across Bury will be taking part in an election for the Bury Member and 2 Deputies of the United Kingdom Youth Parliament. This year there are 14 candidates from across the borough.
Last year 7,500 young people voted in the election and we are hoping to improve on this figure this year. The count will take place on Friday 6th March from 1pm in the Council Chamber and the result will be announced by the Returning Officer at 5pm.
I think these elections are a fantastic way of getting young people involved in politics, and the issues that matter to people. They are a very worthy cause indeed, and some of the young people involved could teach a thing or three to some of us Councillors!
