Elections can be complicated. But we’re here to make sure you have the freedom to make the choice that is right for you.

That’s why we’re getting you ready to Vote with Pride in 2026 and make your mark in the important ballot box.

Why Vote?

Your vote really is your voice — it helps decide things that matter to all of us. By voting, you are showing, and telling, people what matters to you and the future you want for yourself, your friends, family, loved ones, neighbours and our community.

Every vote cast has the power to shape policies that affect us all. Let’s ensure all LGBTQ+ communities are seen, heard, counted and represented in the decisions that will shape the UK. Vote with Pride is part of LGBT Foundation’s call for LGBTQ+ people and allies to Refuse to Be Invisible!
