	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/03/2018 answer text <p>Engaging people of all backgrounds in politics is a responsibility shared by citizens, Government, political parties, third sector organisations and others.</p><p>As set out in December 2017 in our democratic engagement plan ‘Every Voice Matters: Building A Democracy That Works For Everyone’ our focus is on increase democratic participation amongst under registered electors. Participation in elections, starting with registration, is one way of engaging people in politics. Our plan includes understanding, and addressing, barriers to inclusion experienced by groups such as young people, ethnic minorities and frequent movers. Income is not in its own right an indicator of registration status, but these other groups may have proportionally lower incomes than groups that are more likely to be registered.</p><p>We have announced a first ever National Democracy Week to take place from 2-8 July 2018. The Week will see a wide range of democratic engagement activity undertaken aimed at engaging under-registered groups. The flexible, partner-led model will allow all nations to deliver activities appropriate to them and reach a broad range of groups, which may include those on lower incomes.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Norwich North answering member printed Chloe Smith question first answered 01/03/2018 16:35:18 answering member 1609 label Biography information for Chloe Smith
