Thanks for this
Darren.
While the UCA
election web is not specifically designed for young people, it is
designed to be accessible and user friendly with plenty of resources, action
ideas and links.
Happy
voting.

For those of you talking with young people
who are voting for the first time, or simply thinking seriously about
voting for the first time here are a number of other sites that might help you
with the task...
Out of a matter of interest, are there any churches
out there who are holding an election party/wake for their first time voters
in the area? How will your young adults remember the election this year?
Will you be involved?
