DUF has campaigned on two levels to lower the voting age: creating debate among young people and within their member organization, and engaging in political lobbying. Their campaign has involved youth hearings in schools and theaters, educational materials, and participation in music festivals to discuss democracy with youngsters. They have also developed legal and statistical background documents, held parliamentary hearings and surveys, and garnered media coverage to lobby politically for lowering the voting age. Going forward, DUF plans to revitalize their campaign with a stronger European focus, public campaign, and emphasis on political lobbying.
