Young people who are interested in politics and keen to make a difference are being encouraged to stand for election to the East Sussex Youth Cabinet.

East Sussex County Council is urging anyone aged between 11 and 16, who lives or studies in the county and are passionate about their community, to stand as a candidate.

The successful candidates will join the Youth Cabinet to campaign on issues affecting young people and represent the views of young people to decision makers, including the county council.

Applications close on Friday June 12 and nominees will face the ‘Big Vote’ in November when young people across East Sussex will go to the polls and choose who represents them on the Youth Cabinet for up to two years.

The Big Vote will see 20 Youth Cabinet members elected, representing six wards - Wealden, Lewes, Coastal, Eastbourne, Hastings and Bexhill, and Upper Rother.
