Abstract
Expression of interest – Improving democratic engagement in Wales.
To date, we have worked with partners to develop a range of resources designed to educate voters and under-registered groups about how to register to vote, ways to vote and about changes to those processes (such as the introduction of votes at 16 in Wales).
Ahead of the 2026 Senedd and 2027 local government elections in Wales we are looking to support projects to increase democratic engagement amongst under-registered groups, specifically:
- Qualifying foreign nationals
- Black and other minority ethnic communities
- Housing association renters
- People experiencing homelessness
There are two Lots:
Lot 1 – Organisations supporting qualifying foreign nationals, and black and other minority ethnic communities
Lot 2 – Housing associations and organisations supporting people experiencing homelessness
