Each year, the Leeds Learning Disability People’s Parliament votes for people to have a volunteer role called Elected Representatives.

These volunteers take the views of People’s Parliament members to the Leeds Learning Disability Partnership Board meetings.

This year’s election will be held at September’s People’s Parliament on Tuesday 30th September.
