Why does this matter to students? Because just being registered to vote gives you power; it gives you influence and a stake in society. When politicians make decisions, they look at who is on the electoral register and who votes. And what do they see? As it stands, only about half of young people are registered, compared to 96% of older people.
If you want to cast a vote on May the 7th you must register to vote by tomorrow, Monday the 20th of April, otherwise you will not be able to!
