Reports and research

The GLA Civic and Democratic Participation Programme publishes an evaluation report every year and has supported research into barriers to civic and democratic participation and best practices for engagement. 

This page will be updated as new evaluations reports are available and research is published.

Two students registering to vote. 'You've really changed my mindset, I never wanted to register to vote, but I will'

Almost 20,500 Londoners registered to vote during LVRW 2024. This is a 3% increase, across all age groups, from the week before (when no campaign activity took place), and an increase of 9% among young Londoners.

Launched in 2019, the GLA’s Civic and Democratic Participation programme works with statutory bodies, civil society, and under-represented Londoners to improve voter registration and increase democratic and civic participation.

In 2024–25, the GLA coordinated with borough electoral services, civil society organisations (CSOs), and educational institutions to deliver: 

  • The sixth London Voter Registration Week (LVRW)
  • The inaugural London Democracy Week (LDW)
  • Phase three of the Democratic Participation grants programme
