On Friday 12th March, the movement for Proportional Representation will hold a virtual lobby of Parliament, calling on our MPs to back equal votes.
This will be an opportunity to push electoral reform to the top of the political agenda.

In December, hundreds of us sent Christmas cards to our MPs calling for equal votes. This year, we’re planning the next step: our first virtual lobby of Parliament. Just fill in the form to send a meeting invitation to your MP. With most in-person constituency surgeries suspended due to the pandemic, we’ll be holding these meetings online.

Below, you can see some FAQs about the virtual lobby, including more details on how it will all work. Please share with your friends and fellow constituents to make this lobby as big as possible!

Electoral Reform

Saturday, 12 December marks one year since the last General Election, where 7 out of every 10 votes were wasted. At Make Votes Matter, we want to increase the pressure on MPs to change the voting system. That’s why we’re asking all our supporters to send a Christmas card to their MP calling for equal votes.

On the 12th December, electoral reform campaigners from across the UK will, once again, be demanding that their MPs support fair votes, sharing photos on social media and grabbing some press coverage.

And we’ll be doing all of this while following government guidance to make sure we and those around us stay safe. Find out more – and sign up to take part.
