O U R PR AI RG TH ITCS I POAUT R I O SN T O R Y Young people as active citizens In this part of the research we asked young people 3 questions. The questions are related to their participation in wider society. Figure 7 Figure 7 shows us that over half of young people had given up their own time to sign a petition. Petitions make up a small part in which democratic governments and local authorities listen to views of people. From our results we would conclude that they are a process in which half of young people in Wales are engaged. 74
P A R T I C I P A T I O N Figure 8 Figure 8 shows us that the vast majority of young people (80%) think that the voting age in Wales should be lowered from 18 to 16 years old. During the 2007 Welsh Assembly Government election only 21.9% of 18 to 24 year olds exercised their right to vote. <strong>Our</strong> research shows 80% of young people would lower the voting age to allow them to vote at 16 but once reaching 18 years old only 22% actually do vote. Could it then be argued that we need to lower the voting age to 16 to engage young people in the democratic process before they lose interest? When we asked young people if they thought that the Assembly listened to young people only 18% said yes, with the majority 55% saying no. It would be easy from this finding to recommend that the Assembly listens more to young people. However, we think that as well as listening more, the Assembly should do more to promote how it is listening to young people. 75
