Improve young voter turnout: polling stations in universities and colleges

Petition Details

Young voters are statistically proven to have a poorer turnout to elections than older voters, despite having to live longer with the results. In order to improve young voter turnout, improving accessibility to polling stations by putting them in educational institutions ought to be considered.
