First-time voters have told BBC News how the general election is cutting through to them on social media.
“A lot of people I’m talking to my age are concerned around some policies being talked about, in terms of immigration being spoken about.“With everything being so expensive and realistically someone my age isn’t going to get employment in a job that paid well enough. “People have died and fought for the right to vote and it’s one of the only ways we can have a say to change the country if we want to.”“The representation of younger people needs to be there and giving the vote would definitely allow that," he said.
“One of the biggest cares in our country, for me, is the NHS and it’s something as a country we are proudest of - but people aren’t looking after it.”
