Three quarters of young Kiwis plan to cast a vote in the upcoming election, but more than half of them haven't decided which party it will go to.
That's according to a Research Association New Zealand poll which spoke in April to 669 Kiwis aged 18-25, drawn from an online panel and representing the population based on gender, ethnicity and geography.
But it remains to be seen whether their good intentions will come to pass. At the 2014 election just 63 per cent of enrolled 18- to 24-year-olds actually made it to the polling booth, according to the Electoral Commission.
Commission figures from the end of April show barely 66 per cent of the same age group are enrolled to vote this September, despite enrolment being compulsory in New Zealand.
RANZ chief executive Robert Bree said with five months to go it was important young people be encouraged to exercise their voting rights.
