What Does the Constitution Require of Us as Citizens?

Being a citizen is more than having rights, it comes with the responsibility to participate, question, and hold power to account.

▶️ 1. Participate. Choose Your Leaders.
When you stay away from the ballot, you hand your power to those who show up.
Define your future. Register to vote ahead of the 2027 elections.

▶️ 2. Hold Public Power to Account.
The Constitution calls on citizens to scrutinise and demand accountability from those exercising the power YOU have delegated to them.

▶️ Know how your MP is performing.
