We are delighted to share the incredible success of the Give an X voter registration campaign. Thanks to your support, we reached a staggering 4,061,056 young people aged 18 to 24 through our targeted paid ads. Even more impressive, 488,886 of these young people clicked through our links to the Government website to register to vote. This remarkable achievement was made possible by our innovative partnerships and collaborative efforts with sectors that don't traditionally engage in voter registration and youth engagement. We worked with over 300 organisations from across media and entertainment, advertising agencies, the youth sector, culture, sports, and many other industries to encourage young people to turn out to vote. The scale of our efforts through the Give an X campaign was unprecedented. Here are some highlights of our partnership work: Tinder: Users could register to vote while swiping right to look for a date. Snapchat: We introduced engaging filters to promote voter registration. Premier League: Our campaign featured in matchday programmes, reaching football fans across the UK. Lime: We offered thousands of free minutes to young people to “Lime to the Polls.” Ben & Jerry’s: We had our own Battle Bus that visited young people across the country, giving out free ice cream and promoting voter registration. Pearl & Dean Cinemas: We showcased our campaign to movie-goers with an engaging trailer in partnership with Ogilvy. Influencers and Celebrities: Through our partnership with Ogilvy, we launched the "You Already Vote, So Vote" campaign, working with reality TV stars and other popular figures to encourage young people to register to vote. A key part of our campaign's success is our youth-led approach and meeting young people where they are. Our youth steering group helped shape the look and feel of the campaign and strategised with us every step of the way. However, we know that there is still much to do. While unconfirmed, there are many reports of historically low turnout at the 2024 election, making our work even more crucial to engage young people in politics. We need your help to build on the success of Give an X. By donating as little as £10, you can help elevate our model of engagement, address low youth participation in elections, and build young people’s trust in politics.

About us
We are Give an X and we are getting every single young person registered to vote before the general election. A coalition of the biggest youth movements in the UK led by My Life My Say, The I Will Movement and Shape History, representing thousands of young people across the country. Proudly non-partisan. By young people, for young people. --- My Life My Say (MLMS) is a youth-led, non-partisan organisation on a mission to empower young people to participate in democracy by creating spaces for dialogue across communities and generations. My Life My Say also provides young and socially excluded citizens with the tools to lead change within society through our Young Leaders programme. We’re a team of diverse and talented young individuals who are passionate about rebranding politics and removing the barriers that prevent young people from engaging and participating in the decision-making process. Since its inception, MLMS has engaged with 41,000 young people face-to-face and 80% of our events took place outside of London, including all regions of the UK and Europe. MLMS focuses on youth engagement by making politics fun and inclusive to young people. Through advocacy, MLMS seeks to represent the views of young people to stakeholders and decision-makers at a local, national and international level. MLMS also hosts the Common Futures Forum which aims to inspire and connect young people alongside democracy cafés which brings together diverse members of local communities. In 2018, MLMS won the Change Maker of the Year Award. The award recognises an organisation that has put a new idea forward to increase access to democracy, convinced others of the merit of their idea and affected a real change that benefits the greater good.
