The Labour Manifesto last year vowed to introduce votes at 16 and this will now become reality. In Wales we already have this for Senedd and Council elections and now this will be extended to General Elections too.
As a member of the All Party Parliamentary Group for Fair Elections, I am pleased to see the Government take action on:
➡ Expanding forms of voter ID to include UK-issued bank cards and veteran ID
➡ Moving towards automatic voter registration
➡ Tightening rules on political donations to protect against foreign interference.
This came up in my @PoliticsProject session @Ysgol Rhosnesni High a fortnight ago.

More progress last week for the Football Governance Bill as it passed its Third Reading and now moves to the House of Lords.
The Bill aims to establish an independent regulator to oversee the men's game in England's top five divisions. The regulator will be independent from the government and from football authorities and will crucially ensure the financial sustainability of football clubs, something which Wrexham AFC and myself have pushed for along with many others. ...

These include outreach, family support, the sensory room, after school club, and holiday club, dance and music, family swim as well as respite.
Your Space work with children with an autism diagnosis but also those who don't yet have one. They will also be offering autism and mental health training too.

Electoral reform is something I have been clear that the Government needs to look at, including the need for a national commission. Supplementary Vote will now resume as the system for Mayoral and Police and Crime Commissioner elections in England.
There is more to do, but this is a start. As I say in the article, “I hope the government will similarly embrace a discussion about making our general elections fair, representative, and fit for the 21st century.”
