Voters can cast their ballots for political parties in the general election between 7am and 10pm. In interviewing teenagers about who they support, a reporter found they had strong political views and opinions. This suggests the younger generation is becoming more engaged in politics and aware of the issues, which is good so fewer votes will be wasted.
