“Get out the International Vote” was held by the Labour Party in close co-operation with the UK Branches of PES sister parties.

The London Labour Party & the Labour Movement for Europe are calling on all non-British EU citizens living in the UK to use their democratic right and register to and vote in the European Elections on June 04. Help us defeat the far-right BNP at the ballot box.

Jointly organised by London Labour & the Labour Movement for Europe
The aim is to get EU-expats to register on the electoral register and to vote in the European elections. May 19 is registration deadline. EU expats are 4 times more likely to participate in elections in their country of residence than the country they are citizens of. An increased EU voter participation will help decrease the chances of the extreme right BNP to win a London seat and also weaken other euro-sceptic and euro-phobic parties like UKIP, Libertas and the Tories. Training and a script will be provided.

Dates:        May 6, 12 and 14, 2009
