X-Change Essay Competition...' Does Democracy need elections?'

Take part in the competition....a chance to win £250! The Electoral Reform Society X Change has launched an essay competition inviting young people to have their say in the debate about making democracy more modern. A large percentage of young people do not vote in elections at all because they do not feel part of the political process.

The society X Change are eager to discover what young people's opinions are with regards to these problems, and want to learn about the issues that are important to young people by launching a competition such as this.

Those that win the competition will have their essays published, and those in the under 18's age group will win £150, and those in the 19-26 years age group will win £250.
