Electoral Commission – Youth Engagement Panel
14 young people aged between 14 – 18 from across the region work together to create awareness and a deeper understanding of the Electoral Commission’s role and purpose.
The group engaged in group work sessions and residentials and frequently meet with the Electoral Commission staff and presented at board meetings. The group is designing Northern Ireland-specific resources that will create awareness and knowledge about politics, how to vote, and the voting system. The group facilitated a social media campaign recently as part of the regional ‘welcome to your vote week campaign’, and is excited about future work together.
