Closed Allow Online Voting in Elections

Closed on

The young are not voting at a time when their future is being determined and the emergence of technology means smartphones are ubiquitous. Our vote can make all the difference, help make it easier for a generation who cannot afford a car to access a polling station or are busy revising for A-levels

41 million people owned a smartphone in the UK in 2017 and this number will have increased in 2 years. Being part of a generation of which over 1/3 said they regularly check their phone, it would make all the difference. Please, help us have our say.
