Every Vote Counts!
United Response launched the Every Vote Counts! project in February 2007 with funding from the Electoral Commission.
The aim of Every Vote Counts! is to make politics directly relevant to people with learning disabilities in England. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have their own systems.
The project aims to help extend people's understanding of how politics affects their everyday lives, and to support people to become actively involved in the democratic process. We have worked with people with learning disabilities and those who support them in the development of this valuable, multimedia resource.
This project is also working with people within the political system, people with a learning disability and the people who support them, to produce Making Democracy Accessible. This additional resource will be available next July and is designed to encourage our political stakeholders to produce information that is open and accessible to everyone.
