Hi, everyone.

🗣️🗳️
Tomorrow we will talk about what people's experiences were of voting in the May 2026 Scottish Parliament election.

🧐
The Electoral Commission UK have a few questions that they would like to ask you... might put them on

SPIN THE WHEEL 🤩

🤔
I also wonder about some things that we can do to help make voting better for people the next time ... and that could be sooner than we think.

😍
See you tomorrow!

🤞
Hopefully we can stay in touch and help with the promotion of independent advocacy going forward and be involved in any work that you are doing.

❓
Is advocacy a MUST? (Sadie)

✅
Most people felt YES and highlighted Citizen and Collective Advocacy models as being more preventative and relationship-based, although there was agreement that different kinds of advocacy are needed in different situations.

🥤
John David Gallon - it was lovely to get a chance to meet quickly for a catch-up. Have fun with People First Highland and The Discovery College tomorrow. Thanks Amy Bailey for letting me away.

The Assembly is a safe space for people with learning disabilities and others to learn and take part neutrally in a more accessible way.

We would kindly ask for people to keep that in mind if they feel the need to comment below.
