There are 1.8 million single-parent households in the UK. Voting in the General Election on 4 July means that single-parent voters can send a powerful message to the next government .
To be a single-parent voter, you need to register to vote. It only takes 5 minutes and you just need your National Insurance number (you can find it on your payslip, for example).
Everyone needs to show ID to vote. If you don’t have valid ID, you can apply for a Voter Authority Certificate. You need to apply by 5pm on 26 June to vote in this General Election.
Encourage other single-parent friends and family to register to vote too. Let’s make sure sure the single-parent vote counts on election day.
Don’t forget to vote on 4 July ! You will need to take your Voter Authority Certificate or other valid ID with you.
