"For political systems to be representative, all parts of society must be included."
Long term political solutions require youth action. The main reason for this is that youth participation "extends the shadow of the future"; today's young people are tomorrow's political decision makers. Thus, young people who get involved in their local governments now are in a better position to be effective leaders when they are fully grown.
The Ace Network is an organization dedicated to helping young people understand and influence elections. For many countries, elections determine the direction of governments at both local and national levels. Here, they explain how young people can get politically involved at a local level and why they should.
