Make Votes Matter is the national movement for Proportional Representation

Our broken voting system cheats most voters and Parliament doesn’t reflect the way we voted.

The UK is in crisis - to address this we urgently need to make seats match votes, with a good voting system supported by the public. Most people and parties agree.

Get involved in 2024!

We are recruiting for people to deliver leaflets in our 43 swing seat target constituencies. When candidates come knocking, we need them to know that PR is a #DoorstepDemand.

Will you get involved in this, our biggest ever election campaign?

Make Votes Matter believes the House of Commons should be elected by Proportional Representation - so seats in Parliament match how the people vote - and that every vote should count, regardless of where you live or who you vote for. We invite you to support the movement for Proportional Representation so we can win real democracy in the UK.

The UK faces simultaneous crises: of the nation’s approach to the pandemic, of climate breakdown, of economic inequality, and about our relationship with Europe. We believe these are at their roots all crises of democracy; either caused or exacerbated by a political system that is unresponsive and ineffective because of our undemocratic First Past the Post electoral system.

We are committed to putting in place the necessary conditions for electoral reform to take place in the next Parliament. These include securing a commitment to PR from the Labour Party, building an unprecedented Alliance of pro-PR political parties, organisations and public figures, and an organised and assertive grassroots movement. Join us!
