Welcome to Your Vote Week 2025

Lodged by Gillian Mackay (Scottish Green Party) Standard Motion 18 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises 10 to 16 March 2025 as "Welcome to Your Vote Week", which encourages schools and youth groups to provide democratic education sessions with their students and young people; understands that this year's theme is “Get Informed and Get Involved”, which was developed with the Electoral Commission's Youth Voice Champions, as they highlighted that being accurately informed and engaging with politics was important to them, and commends the work done by those championing the week, supporting young people to develop their knowledge around politics, democracy and elections and helping them to get involved in the local community.
