Support the overseas constituencies campaign
Send a postcard to your MP!

Join the democracy campaigners who believe, as we do, that overseas constituencies would give Brits living abroad the dedicated representation in Parliament they deserve.
British citizens overseas (who once lived or were registered to vote in the UK) can now vote in general elections. But their MP may have little experience of dealing with the issues UK citizens abroad regularly face. And that needs to change!
There will be a new opportunity for change soon with another Elections Bill currently being prepared by the government. So now is the perfect time to turn the spotlight on the changes needed, and particularly introducing overseas constituencies.
