The general election, which happens every two years (although we vote for president every FOUR), will be held on the first Tuesday AFTER the first Monday in November.\n\nIf you like how the countries going, vote Republican.  If you want things to change, vote Democrat.\n\nMake sure you're registered to vote, otherwise you can't.

Local Elections in the UK are always held on the first Thursday in May. HOWEVER, this has been changed twice by government legislation.\n\nIn 2001, the government moved the locals from May to June (to coincide with the general election) and the same happened in 2004 to coincide with the European Elections.\n\nWhoops, my apolgies. The British Local Elections are (as a rule) held on the first Thursday in May. These dates are fixed in advance by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and are published on the web at www.odpm.gov.uk

Do like the real politicians,say " i don't know how to lie, cheat or steal, but if you elect me, i'll try to learn."\n "Tired of the rest, vote for the best ___________."\nthe biggest thing you can do in an election, is to ask as many people to vote for you, as you can. sounds simple, but if you ask alot of people why they voted for someone, they'll say "because they asked me"

Start with your MP. The link below will tell you who it is.\n\nYou can lobby your MEP.\n\nHowever, the best way is to make sure that the subject is in the media spotlight. Ring radio phone ins. Write to newspapers. Put up posters etc.\n\nAt local elections you could stand yourself as a one policy candidate and use the opportunity to canvas your areas and make it a campaign issue.

Let everyone know that in order to maintain a society that is orderly and law abiding, we should all participate in an election. It's important that we research candidates and laws prior to an election so that we know what we want. We have to make ourselves heard. Every vote counts!

I am. How can we vote for the right politicians or make this world a better place if we don't know what's happening in the world? I am addicted because I want to help and I want to be well-informed on election day.

Nothing.  It's a right, but it's not mandatory.\n\nBut you really should vote.

The Prime Minister is the leader of the party that either holds a majority of the seats in the House of Commons or that leads a coalition that together comprises a majority. Unlike American presidential elections, UK parliamentary elections do not have a set date. However, no more than five years can pass between elections. Usually the party in power tries to call elections when they feel that they have the best chance to do well. I believe that elections can also be forced by a parliamentary vote of no confidence.

No idea. But I've been reported for asking : "Will you vote for me?", so I assume people have no sense of humor here....

That will be decided in the November election. It has not yet been given a number. You will get a pamphlet with all the election information closer to the election.

elections are important b/c without elections, there's no democracy. and to see what life is like without democracy, move to China and try to have more than two kids, then try to criticize the government. \n\nwhenever you find out there's an election going on in your area, find out what issues you care about and research the hell out of them. then find out what the candidates stand for on all the issues, zeroing in on your important ones. if you don't like either of the candidates, write one in who you would vote for. it takes work to be an informed voter. otherwise you'll be just like everyone else and not give a shit what's going on.

The voting is political.\nOur entry (UK) is awful, but maybe so crap it'll win!\n\nOdds wise, Sweden and Greece are favourite to win but my money is on Finland (very funny) and Swizterland (made up of multi-nationality group!)
