Elections 11 | UKYPGlos.co.uk

UKYP elections take place every year, in every part of the UK. Any young person aged 11-18 can stand or vote in the UKYP elections. (Gloucestershire Candidates must live within the county).

Once elected MYPs and DMYPs work closely with MPs, councillors, school and youth councils and peer group members on the issues of greatest concern to their constituents.

UKYP is divided into different regions and each region has a set number of members and deputies, dependant on the size of the region. At a regional level, MYPs and DMYPs organise campaigns, projects and events as well as identifying common issues of concern.

Gloucestershire is one of the many counties that belong to the southwest region. Gloucestershire elect 3 MYPs and 3 DMYPs each year who are fully supported by Gloucestershire Youth Service.
