Are the 18 - 25's you know going to vote?

[Parsley65]

My DD16 grimaced when the news came on this morning and it was the usual diet of politics.

Luckily several of her friends take this subject, so she has views and informs me she will definitely be voting in the future.

I'm wondering if this is typical of the young people you know who are of voting age, as I'm sure when I was that age I didn't care

My DS23 and DD20 would walk through fire to vote. They both take it very seriously.

DC will both be voting. One with a postal vote, one in person. Both of their partners will vote, as will my politically active godson. Two nieces and a nephew will also vote, one for the first time. A mixture of Labour, LibDem and Plaid Cymru. A teenager I know who will be 17 years and 11 months is furious she can't vote.

Mine are keen to.,

I turned 26 this week so outside of your age Banding but I have voted every time I possibly could since turning 18 and will be again now.

DD is 20 and has chosen to vote in her uni constituency as it's a marginal. Her peer group didn't get to vote in the referendum and aren't happy about leaving the EU. I get the impression they're all Lib Dems- apart from being remainders they're highly numerate so I'd guess they can see the Labour sums don't add up.

Remainers- autocorrect ought to know that's a word at the moment.

I might be being really dim for pointing this out but am I right in thinking that all the young voters are in further education?

Not mine.

I am 21 and will be voting,

For PP saying we will all be voting labour, I won’t be...

I'm that age bracket, will vote and everyone else I know in the age bracket. Don't know anyone voting labour though, but I'm sure all hate the Tory's too! We're all politically lost and I think there will be a lot of tactical voting going on.

I asked this of a friend's twin DDs - they fumed about just missing out age-wise last time, but are always loud in their support of Jeremy

Turned out they'd got the wrong date and thought it was December 10th ... and they've got "something else planned" on the 12th so apparently it's "not faaaiiirrr"

My DH teaches politics to his high schoolers within PHSE and they are all very engaged. The vast majority are strong Labour supporters, though we live in a traditionally Tory wealthy area.

i m 24 and have always voted since i was able to and everyone i know in my age group has done the same. i was 15 in the 2010 election when there was the hung parliament and we had politics lessons in school about the importance of voting.

Dd19 will be voting. No idea which way, that's her business.

My 2 girls, 23 and 25 will definitely be voting and they are actively talking to friends telling them to vote.

@Puzzledandpissedoff - They can't get there between 7am and 10pm ?

They could apply or postal votes (or could have at the time the election was announced - I'm not sure of the cut off date).

Suddenly had a horrifying realisation that I don't know any 18-25s
Last time I checked I was about that age but it turns out I'm now in my mid thirties and my friends are 35-50.

They can't get there between 7am and 10pm ?

Apparently not, @BackforGood. I'm told 7-ish is "too early to get up" and they don't want to interrupt their plans for the day to go voting

I did consider suggesting a postal vote, but TBH was losing the will to live by then ...

My DS will be voting. I have voted in every election since I turned 18. I can hear my grandmother telling me that women died so we can have the vote, so I will always vote for the party 'closest' to my views.

I have 3 of them and all are voting. Youngest 2 could vote in 2 different constituencies so have been looking at where their vote will make the most difference.

I'm 24. Every one of my friends has voted since we were 18. I don't know anyone who doesn't.

My 17 and 22 year olds will definitely be voting. 17 year old turns 18 just before the election and has registered already. They talk politics over the dinner table a lot and are very interested in what is going on.

My kids will be.

DS and I have booked the 13th off work so we can stay up all night watching the results come in.

We helped our newly-turned-18yo apprentice at work register to vote last week, she said she wants to. So that's good.

My 20 year old brother is voting for the first time. He registered this week so he’s good to go. He’s voting Labour (and he’s not in further education)

Mine all are and have become really interested in politics. More through social media and friends than tv. All voting labour especially the one working in the NHS.
