Remembering Kerry

I cannot see that coming about arista.
I agree something needs to be done as to getting all people voting, not just the young,what the answer is I don't know. Polling stations often are in places out of the way, if people in a constituency had voting booths set up at their local supermarkets, maybe more would vote then. In 2010, I came across people shopping, who said they weren't going to vote because the polling stations was down at some bowling green and they couldn't be bothered. Had they been able to vote in the supermarket, they likely would have done. I am not sure where I think voting should go, however I agree with Kizzy, the way set out in the op is likely open to abuse and manipulation. |

"I cannot see that coming about arista."
Sure but things change Fast old folks catch up And for any that need help they will get it. Polling Stations are not used enough To many Do Not Vote Not a problem as Tests would be done in Major places like these TV Debates Ofcom was using old data Fecking Made a Error And now the Greens will be on ITV its being set up as we speak |

Voter apathy in the young is not at all because they are lazy or out of touch and it doesn't say anything about young people. It says it all about Westminster politics. Young people don't bother to go out and vote because they don't feel like their vote means anything or that it will change anything. Labour tories labour tories flip flop flip flop nothing ever really changes. They're not wrong.
Give them a voice, make them feel like their vote actually matters - that what they are voting for has any sort of real impact - and it stop being a problem. To illustrate: young voters turned up in droves to vote in the independence referendum and we're hugely engaged by the campaign on both sides. It felt important, it felt meaningful, the result had the potential to change politics in the country forever. UK General election politics are a complete "meh". The question being asked is "which stuffy Eton prick would you like to run the country into the mud and not give a **** about you?". I completely understand people choosing to stay in bed and watch re-runs of Friends. |

Everyone who votes was young once. I've voted since I was eligible because it is a privilege not afforded to everyone in the world and yet it's taken with such apathy in this country. |

Online voting would be a better system. I think most young people just dread having to go to a polling station and probably feel it's a time consuming job. Having an option to vote online would be a good step forwards to encourage more people to get involved.
Obviously keep polling stations and postal voting like we have now. Just add online voting as an additional way for the younger generations. Last edited by Jamesy; 18-01-2015 at 05:43 PM. |

I don't think voting methods are the reason for low turnouts or the answer to it either. I think it's more to do with the quality of the candidates and the parties, it's difficult to care about any of them because they're all so subpar.
I personally couldn't care less who wins the elections as long as it's not UKIP or Conservatives, I just can't drum up the energy to care beyond that. |

Tbh if you think the short walk to the polling station is too much of an obstacle to voting then you're probably not serious or bothered enough about your vote and might as well not cast one

I don't understand why, because voting is low with the young, that we have to brighten it up to encourage them to vote. I'm sure in the future texting and all kinds of methods will be brought in the way postal votes were, and now in my constituency something like 25% of votes cast are postal votes. As someone well versed in election law I've got to say, it would be a nearly impossible job to make sure there was no tampering or other monkey business because you can lock and seal a ballot box, you can you can't do that with a text.

I'm lucky as my polling station is only a 15 minute walk.However I think this would be a good idea IF it could be protected from hackers but i fear internet security is not that good yet and may never be.Hackers always find a way.

One vote per house wouldn't work. I quite often have voted differently to parents/siblings.

Last time young voters voted for someone they believed in, said person went against pretty much everything he stood for in the election. That's why young voters don't give a **** anymore.

The two of them actually, not just Clegg (who I assume you mean). I remember a lot of young people at the time really enthusiastic about David Cameron and the things he was peddling pre-election... And he went back on nearly every single one of his pledges.
