This is an engaging picture book that explains what an election is and how the voting system works. Alex’s family supports the party with stripes on their posters whereas Evie’s family backs the party with spotty posters. But whoever wins the election, Alex and Evie will remain friends. With backing from elected representatives of all major political parties, The Election is an essential tool for learning about modern democracy in the UK.
