Teach children about how elections work in Britain with this PowerPoint. It presents important information about why people vote, who can vote and how the elections work. The last slide includes three discussion questions for children to consider — do they think the British voting system is fair? Should the voting age be lowered? And what might happen if young children were allowed to vote?

This PowerPoint is great for using in an assembly. Check out our other assembly resources here.
