24th February 2014

Growing Into Politics: How lowering the voting age could combat turnout decline
18th February 2014
Voter engagement among the young is low and seems set to fall still further: only 44% of those aged 18 voted in the 2010 general election, and only 12% of this age group say that they are “certain to vote” at the next from 30% just two years ago.
