Labour’s mission: to go ‘in search of these missing women’s voices’ to ensure that they are heard in May’s election.

New research commissioned by the Deputy Leader of the Labour Party Harriet Harman is shaping Labour’s new ‘Missing Millions’ policy.

The research revealed that 9.1 million women did not vote in the 2010 general election, compared to 8 million men.

The gap between women and men voters has been growing since 1992, which was the last time the voter turnout for women was higher than the turnout for men.
