Cornwall Youth Council Election Registration is now open and we need your help to raise awareness for young people to register to take part.
What it is:
Cornwall Youth Council started in April 2022 and since March 2024 has run an elected member structure so young people across Cornwall have a say in who represents them on the Youth Council. Cornwall Youth Council is made up of 5 roles, Elected Members, Members of Youth Parliament, Associate Members, Peer Mentors and the Comms Team.
Young people have the opportunity to elect 18 geographic members of Cornwall Youth Council. Cornwall’s Members of Youth Parliament are then elected from that group. We would like your support to encourage young people aged 11- 18 to register to stand for election. Detailed information about the Youth Council elections is attached.
Young people have until 23rd November at midnight to register their interest. After this all the young people will be invited to attend a workshop day with existing members of Youth Council to find out more about the role and develop their election goal.
