"From our experience in Wales, young people are taking it really seriously, they are really thinking about the responsibility, and they're really excited to vote". Our Director, Hattie, was in Parliament yesterday to give evidence to the Representation of the People Committee.

We held a Q&A with students on politics and democratic engagement thanks to our Democratic Engagement Grant and the @politicsproject!🗳️ Here’s what they had to say👇 To learn more about the upcoming election, go to: vote.wales
