We discussed barriers to voting to which students added that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u2018not all polling stations are accessible\u2019<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u2018some people don\u2019t know how to find their nearest polling station\u2019<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u2018many people don\u2019t know who to vote for\u2019 (Dieu)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u2018people struggle to choose only 1 party because they have multiple priorities\u2019 (Ahash)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>people don&#8217;t know they have the right to vote if they are disabled\u2019 (Hifza and Anas)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked what change they would like to see from the new government, they responded with some valuable suggestions like:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>More money for hospitals\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Better and more accessible transport\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Free school meals\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>More housing \u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Students enjoyed the voting simulation and learning about how their actions have an impact.
