Voting and service users
5 June 2024
A General Election has been called for Thursday July 4 2024.
Many people, staff and service users, remain unaware that a lack of mental capacity does not stop you being able to vote.
All patients, except the relatively small number of patients convicted of a criminal offence and ordered to hospital by the courts, can vote.
You have until the 18 June to register to vote.
A video made by NHS colleagues explains your voting rights.
