When it comes to voter turnout, one of the most challenging tasks a politician has is finding a way to engage young voters.

Thirty-two percent of eligible voters in the riding of Barrie-Springwater-Oro-Medonte are between the ages of 18 to 34.

"Young voters are now the youngest voting block in this election," explains Michael D'Amelio, Future Majority Barrie Chapter. "They could really make an impact on politics. They can change the way we do things."

Voters between the ages of 65 to 74 continue to have the highest participation according to statistics by Elections Canada.

So the question remains, how do candidates engage the younger electorate.

NDP candidate Dan Janssen hopes to connect with a unique DJ spin night. "We plan on having some social events right here in our campaign office, and we'll be spinning records, having people come in to play music."

Liberal candidate Brian Kalliecharan says he's taking the approach of listening to the young people on his staff. "It is a privilege to share that space and represent our youth."

Conservative candidate Doug Shipley says he is tailoring his social media. "Someone I showed an article to yesterday read the headline, and that was it. They didn't want to read anything else, so we know bullet points are good, short and sweet is good, and pictures are good too."

Green Party candidate Marty Lancaster says he will meet with young voters in person at rallies and events.

And in a statement, the People's Party of Canada candidate, David Patterson, says he aims to unite Canadians and not divide them into groups.

Future Majority is a non-partisan, non-profit group that helps to educate young Canadians about their right to vote.

The group says young people feel disconnected from the political scene.

One Georgian College student admits, "I, personally, would vote, if I knew all the information, but I don't so I don't' know if I'm gonna vote."
