What is a manifesto?
A political party is a group of people with shared ideas about how the country or a local area should be run. A manifesto sets out what a party says it wants to do if elected. It is a statement of plans, not proof that those plans have become law or happened. A candidate is a person standing for election.
These documents are from the 2024 general election
The four party PDFs linked here are Easy Read documents for the UK general election in 2024. They are listed alphabetically. They are past-election documents and may not describe a party’s current plans. This page does not recommend a party, rank parties or provide a complete list of candidates.
Other parties, candidates and elections
Other parties and independent candidates may stand where you live. An independent candidate does not represent a political party. Council elections and elections in different parts of the UK can have different candidates and manifestos. Check the year, election and area on every document. Ask a party or candidate for their current Easy Read information if it is missing.
Find out who is standing
Democracy Club’s Who Can I Vote For? lets you look up election and candidate information using a postcode. It is an ordinary website, not an Easy Read guide. Candidate details may be incomplete before nominations close. Your council’s election website publishes official candidate notices. My Vote My Voice has an Easy Read guide to finding candidates and asking about their plans.
Reading and discussing the plans
Choose a topic that interests you and read a short part at a time. Ask someone to explain unfamiliar words or help you use another format. Compare what candidates say about the same topic without a supporter steering your choice. You can disagree, ask questions and take time.
Opening the documents
The party links open free PDF documents. You can save or print them. The Labour file is about 11 MB and may take longer to open; its accessibility page provides a second route to the download. Some PDFs may be difficult to use with a screen reader or read-aloud tool. Ask the publisher for a format that works for you.
Your own choice
Supporters can help you find and understand information. They should not decide what you think or who you support. You can use our voting guide for information about getting help to vote.
Words you could use
“Please help me find Easy Read information for this election. I want to understand the choices and make up my own mind.”
