We should talk to pupils about rights and our civic duties, says Claire Hanna
SDLP leader Claire Hanna
Claire Hanna is calling on schools across Northern Ireland to initiate a registration drive to ensure all pupils who will be 16 when the next Westminster election is held have a vote.
The SDLP is also urging the Department of Education and the Electoral Office to issue guidance to schools about the process following Keir Starmer’s decision to lower the voting age.
