Launch event: voting resources for refugee communities

Refugee Watch keeps track of news related to refugees and migration. Take action in your community by recording and sharing voices from refugee communities. Together, we can create a space for dialogue about issues that matter.

Join us for the launch of our new voting resources for refugee communities!

Scottish Refugee Council and The Electoral Commission are delighted to invite you to the launch of our new voting resources.

These resources are for people with refugee status who want to know more about how to exercise their right, and for people and groups who support new Scots communities.

The resources have been developed in consultation with new Scots and are designed to support and empower newly enfranchised communities to participate in the Scottish Parliament election in May 2021.

The event is open to people working with refugee communities who wish to support them with participating in the election, as well as anyone with refugee status or leave to remain who will be voting for the first time in Scotland.

When? 18th February 2021, 10.30-11.30am,

The event will take place on Zoom. Language interpretation available on request.

Please email hannah.pearson@scottishrefugeecouncil.org.uk with any questions.
