TWO PEOPLE tasked with helping to give young people from the Western Isles a voice are reminding 16- and 17-year-olds to take advantage of the fact they can vote in this year’s election.
Charlie Nicolson and Donnie Steele were elected in 2015 as Western Isles Youth Champions, with Charlie covering Lewis and Harris and Donnie in Uist and Barra.
The champions are encouraging young voters who are eligible to vote in the upcoming local government elections in May to make sure they are registered on the Electoral Register by April 17, 2017.
