Australia’s voting demographic is a-changin’ — millennials and generation Z will outnumber baby boomers for the first time in this year’s federal election. We have asked Guardian readers aged between 18 and 39 to tell us the deciding factors of their vote.
These results should not be compared with those from professional pollsters but they do provide a clear snapshot of our young readership – key players in Australian democracy.
More than 900 people responded and we have combed through every answer, covering economic and social stressors, whether they feel optimistic or pessimistic about the future, and naming the single most important issue to them.
