Voting Counts

Voting Counts is a simple, unbiased political resource that helps you make informed decisions when voting. The website aims to help people understand who and what they are voting for, we use simple language to de-code politics and make it more digestible. All of our content is created by young adults and students. Voting Counts was set up in 2014 by Rachael, who was studying for her A-levels, when she found that many of her friends did not intend to vote because they didn’t feel informed enough about politics. “I founded Voting Counts after my friends were constantly asking me whom they should vote for, but as a politically active person my answer was always pretty biased. So I wanted to create somewhere my friends could actually go and compare the parties in an unbiased way rather than hearing an often one-sided opinion from friends, family and the media. It’s important for young people to make their own informed decisions”
