A big THANK YOU to Gerraint and Simon from Learning Disability Wales for delivering a fantastic workshop yesterday! ๐ With the Senedd elections coming up on May 7th 2026, it was the perfect time to learn all about democracy and voting. We had great fun using the pop-up voting station ๐ณ
๐ Different ways to vote:
In person at a polling station ๐ซ
By post ๐ฎ
By proxy (someone you trust votes for you) ๐ฅ
๐ How to register to vote:
You can register online ๐
You need your details (like National Insurance number)
Make sure you register before the deadline โฐ
๐ How to find your constituency in Caerphilly borough:
Visit the UK Government website ๐
Enter your postcode ๐
It tells you where you vote and who represents you
We also got creative making our democracy paper chain โ๏ธ๐กWe shared ideas about what we want to see changed and improved in our communities! Why voting is important:
It gives you a voice ๐ฃ๏ธ
It helps shape your future ๐
Everyoneโs vote matters โค๏ธ
Our members really enjoyed this fun and informative session ๐ We learned so much and had a great time together! ๐ Thanks again to Gerraint and Simon for making it so engaging!
