With around 4 million people able to vote in a General Election for the first time in 2024, how can we help young people to engage and make their voices heard? Roo talks to Maya, Youth Assembly Moderator Elect for the United Reformed Church, about her attitude to voting and politics, and what changes she thinks would help young people to get more in touch with our electoral system.
UPDATE: Maya has now actually managed to register to vote in UK elections! :D
