Youth Parliament - Make your mark

What is the Make Your Mark ballot?

On the 13th November 2015 – Members of UK Youth Parliament will come together to debate and decide at our meeting in the House of Commons the most important issue to campaign on for the year ahead. The UK Youth Parliament is the only organisation that is allowed to sit in the House of Commons

They will decide from the top 5 issues voted on by young people across the UK. The topics on the ballot paper were all decided by Members of the Youth Parliament at the Annual Sitting in July 2015.

What is the UK Youth Parliament?

Run by young people for young people, The UK Youth Parliament (UKYP) provides opportunities for 11-18 year olds to use their voice in creative ways to bring about social change. The UKYP is made up of 379 MYPs (Members of Youth Parliament), who are elected by their peers in youth elections throughout the UK. Any young person aged can stand or vote. Once elected, MYPs organise events and projects, run campaigns and influence decision makers on the issues which matter most to young people.
