Abstract
Lowering the voting age to 16 across the UK is a welcome policy intervention to the declining participation of young people in elections. But that alone isn’t enough to engage the youth voice, argues James Sloam. Besides participating in elections, the Government needs to engage with young people in between elections and show that it listens to their concerns.
