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.

Hmm I dunno. It might do. But voting is so important that really even if its in a area you don't frequent, you should make the effort to go there. But yeah I guess where the station is could influence it a bit.

I thought there were loads of centres everywhere? I live in the middle of nowhere and even my little village has 3 polling stations. Our local town has like 10

Gavins sons school is closed as it is a polling station too.
