UK Youth Parliament
UK Youth Parliament (UKYP) is a national organisation which campaigns on issues that affect young people. All Members of Youth Parliament (MYPs) are young people aged 11 to 18, which are elected by young people aged 11 to 18 on an annual basis.
2012 Election
The 2012 election will take place on Thursday2 February 2012. We hope to follow on the previous election's success by having official polling booths and boxes in every middle & upper school, special school and learning centre across Dorset.
The way Dorset runs its election enables young people to understand the process of Voting. By using the official polling booths etc we hope to re-create the environment of an adult election. Members of Youth Parliament (MYPs) are elected annually across the whole of the UK. There are currently over 600 MYPs and Deputy MYPs.
