Democratic Engagement Projects: engaging under-registered groups in democracy
Descriptions
We will commission projects which aim to increase democratic participation among groups who are less likely to be registered to vote and those who face other barriers. More information on these groups can be found in the attached EOI document. We will commission projects grouped under the following Lots: Lot 1: Action research projects, to pilot new and innovative approaches to democratic engagement in England Lot 2: Accessible voting projects, to support disabled and neurodivergent voters across the UK Lot 3: Digital engagement projects, to engage new and diverse audiences and explore the role that digital engagement can have in increasing participation We welcome a wide range of initiatives. We will encourage innovation and creativity from partners, while incorporating best practice in education and community engagement. Initiatives could include traditional education interventions, activities to upskill professionals and trusted community voices, initiatives to build capacity to deliver democratic engagement, events, tech-based solutions, and awareness raising activities. We will work in partnership with commissioned organisations to determine what success looks like and how we measure impact. Projects should explore a range of topics based on what is important to their audiences, such as: - Registering to vote - The voter ID requirement - Ways to vote - How to identify mis- and disinformation - What to expect at the polling station - Upcoming changes to elections This call is intended for organisations with a proven track record of delivering community or democratic engagement activities. While we welcome diverse expertise, applications from organisations whose primary focus is academic research, consultancy or market analysis are discouraged unless they are part of a joint bid led by an organisation with the required experience.
