You donât need us to tell you how important it is to register to vote in the general election.
After all, you guys are way smarter than some media outlets think â you only have to see the results of our election-related Twitter polls to see that.
That said, it is worth noting that if you HAVENâT already registered to vote, thereâs less than a week left to do so.
Yep, thatâs right, gals and guys. Time is at the essence and this new initiative by Thorpe Park might just give you the push to do it, ASAP.
The theme park have announced that theyâre offering discounted ÂŁ20 tickets on entrance to all 18-24 year olds who register to vote before 11.59pm on Monday 22nd May.
Have your say on Theresa Mayâs decision to announce a snap General Election
The Divisional Director at Thorpe Park, recently spoke out about the campaign. He said:
âThis is one of the most significant general elections of our generation and we want to encourage more young people to register their chance to vote. We often hear young people are disengaged from politics, but a large number of our guests have shown an interest in politics, world events and social issues. However there are still a large number abstaining from voting in political elections. Young people are just as concerned about the financial future as any other person.â
Sadly in the 2015 general election, over half of 18-24 year olds didnât use their vote.
Nearly, two thousand 18-24 year olds visit Thorpe Park every week. So hopefully this new scheme will encourage those who didnât vote to hit polling booths on 8th June.
To register to vote, simply head to the GOV.UK website. For more information about the campaign and terms and conditions regarding Thorpe Parkâs discounted tickets, you can visit their website.
