Funded by the Electoral Commission, the Making Chinese Votes Count project was managed by a consortium consisting of both the Ming-Ai (London) Institute and the London Chinese Community Network (LCCN). The 12-month project started in January 2006 with provision to improve the representation of Chinese people in the UK Government. Within the project, a series of community workshops were delivered, covering topics such as electoral law, political participation, and how to become involved in politics. Around 180 people, of which, 56% were of Chinese descent, attended a series of four workshops through the course of the project.
