Council urges young people to register for voting

The National Youth Council is warning that up to 100,000 young people eligible to vote on June 11 may not be able to because they are not registered.

Research carried out by the group and the Central Statistics Office suggests that around 20% of 18-25-year-olds are not on the electoral register.

Spokesperson for the National Youth Council, Laura O’Mahone, said the process is far too complex and needs to be changed.
