Engage with the UK General Election

Churches are taking an active part in the UK General Election which will be held on 4 July 2024.

Hustings

In the run-up to the General Election churches are traditionally at the forefront of running hustings events, where members of the public can listen to and ask questions of the candidates who are standing for election. Updated guidance for churches wanting to run a hustings has now been published and is available on the Churches’ General Election website (available in English and Welsh).

Resources and news

Churches and Christian organisations are also encouraging Christians to register and vote, as well as providing a wide range of resource to help Christians think about questions they should ask candidates and consider how they should vote.

The website also has a news section with updates on initatives from the churches and Christian organisations.
