Local elections 2022: How do you get young people to vote?

Young people learned about politics ahead of local elections in Wales.

Around 300 students attended an event at Coleg Gwent’s campus in Ebbw Vale to learn how British democracy works.

Blaenau Gwent Council Support Officer Katherine Watkins-Hughes said: “It’s just really important that young people know they have a voice.”

Sophie Thomas, 16, said she was looking forward to voting on May 5 and that it would be “very fun”.
