The Government has called a General Election on Thursday 12 December 2019, giving all eligible UK voters the chance to choose new Members of Parliament. This election is about more than Brexit. Whatever your views on; international students’ rights, the NHS, university funding, spending on foreign aid, the living wage, funding for mental health services or housing, make sure you vote and have your say. With over 350,000 students in London, your voice, your issues and your opinions are hugely important.

Polling stations are open from 07:00 to 22:00 on Thursday 12 December.

Who should I vote for?

We can't tell you who to vote for, but we can help you decide. 

Together with NUS, we've developed a policy match tool. Answer a few simple questions about what you think about the key issues affecting the UK and you'll be shown which party best reflects your views. Try it out, you might be surprised.
