Many of you will be meeting candidates on your doorstep as part of their campaign to win your vote. This is your chance to ask what they intend to do for deaf and hard of hearing people if they get elected.

To help you, we have prepared a manifesto outlining four key issues that we want the Northern Ireland Assembly to deal with as a matter of urgency.

We're asking you to print out this manifesto and use it to challenge candidates on their party's policy and position on deaf and hard of hearing issues. You can ask them to make a commitment to you that, if they are elected, they will make it their priority to take these issues forward.

The manifesto has been sent to every election candidate in Northern Ireland, but we need your help to get the message out. Use your vote to campaign for a better quality of life for the thousands of deaf people that live in your community.
