UK Elections are your chance to have a say in the legislation and policies of Great Britain.

In UK elections, you get a chance to change the make up of the UK’s primary legislative body, the House of Commons.

Unlike many other nations where both legislative chambers are elected, the UK elections only elect the lower house. The House of Lords, the upper chamber, is appointed rather than elected. A key principle of British Constitutional Law is “Parliamentary Sovereignty,” meaning that Parliament holds supreme legal authority and is not constrained by a codified constitution, as seen in many constitutional republics.

This means your vote in UK Elections is especially important
