Each year during the elections young people in Kent have the opportunity to vote for the issues that are most important to them.

The top 3 voted issues then become the 3 campaigns elected Kent Youth County Council members will work on. In addition to these top 3 issues, some of the other voted issues become smaller projects.

The elected members work hard to influence Kent County Council and other decision makers to bring about changes in Kent.
