Welcome
Local Democracy Week (LDW) is about helping young people understand that they have the power to effect change in their communities.
Every election year, low voter turnout is a concern and public opinion polls tell us that most of us are not concerned about government or politics.
LDW wants to capture the interest of diverse youth to teach them how democracy can be a great force in their lives to help bring about positive change and address community issues.
