This weekend the Labour Party will be debating electoral reform at their annual party conference. Last year, a motion was blocked by the Unions - but after a year of campaigning by activists including Politics for the Many and Labour for a New Democracy, the two biggest unions, Unite and Unison, have passed favourable motions at their own conferences.

We're hosting multiple events across the conference and going to be speaking at even more. If you are going make sure to volunteer with Labour for a New Democracy and visit us at one of the events.  

We'll be at all the major party conferences this year, you can see the events announced so far here.

All the best,
The Electoral Reform Society team
