How to get young people to vote | Rick Edwards | TEDxHousesofParliament

What does it say about our democracy when a young voter would prefer to watch Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows on TV rather than exercise their democratic right? Journalist and presenter Rick Edwards gives five solutions to get more young people to vote in this talk.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
