The count­down is on for the April 28 gen­er­al elec­tion, and while many peo­ple are prepar­ing them­selves to head to the polls, many young peo­ple say they are ap­a­thet­ic to­wards vot­ing.

Guardian Me­dia spoke to sev­er­al young peo­ple ages 19 to 35, and while some said they would be vot­ing, most young peo­ple said they did not plan to ex­er­cise their con­sti­tu­tion­al right this year be­cause they did not think their vote would make a dif­fer­ence.

To win their vote, some young peo­ple said, a po­lit­i­cal par­ty would have to of­fer young peo­ple a seat at the ta­ble, more job se­cu­ri­ty in­stead of short-term con­tract jobs for de­gree hold­ers, a ma­jor re­duc­tion in crime, as well as a work-from-home pol­i­cy.
