Almost half of the UK’s young voters might not take part in the upcoming 2024 general election, new research reveals.

The survey by Prograd found that 22% of Generation Z (those born between the mid-1990s and mid-2010s) voters don’t plan to vote, and another 21% are unsure.

Asked why, they said they feel their vote won’t matter, and candidates don’t represent them.

Marco Logiudice from Prograd said: “Politicians need to do more to captivate [attract] young people… Those that do have a real opportunity to swing the ballot.”
