To vote or not to vote, that is the question.

In their first podcast episode, first-year students Marko Milikic, Gabriel Capitolo, Max Tsao and Jeroen Spieker explore the importance of voting. From discussing the general importance of voting to the obstacles related to electoral participation, they also touch upon specific cases such as ethnic voting. A special emphasis is placed on young people in electoral campaigns, with a discussion on how to encourage more youngsters to vote. Also, alternative ways of political participation are explored.
