The town I work in, the voting centre is in the middle of town, which is somewhere most local young people frankly just don't go. The town centre is nothing but cafes, charity shops and (lolz) bookies. Older generations still float about the town but young people would be going more out if their way. Very few who live here actually work here either, so it's not like the centre is on the way to / from work or on lunch break.

That's why the polls are open from 7am until 10, that is the weakest excuse ever sorry, it's once in 5 years generally that they have "to go out of their way" the poor things
