Drastically different results to how students felt about lowering the voting age, a marginal deficit which could improve with learning in areas of politics and society... #16youngvoters Only small minority would support lowering voting age to 16 https://t.co/6P9REOSvYq

An article published in 2013 declaring young people’s interest in politics, and my data from my survey supports this 5 years on.... #16youngvoters Column: Insinuating that young people ‘aren’t bothered’ with politics is insulting and false https://t.co/nWX40TIJe3

Under 40% of students could name the Minister for Education and Skills. Would being able to vote improve their knowledge as well as their interest?

Perhaps, if we learned more about voting in schools we would have greater figures for changing the voting age. Almost 79% of students would like to learn more about voting in school. #16youngvoters
