A record number of young Australians have enrolled to vote in the coming federal election.

More than 88 per cent of Australian youth, aged 18-24 years, are now eligible to have their say on who governs our country. Around 70,000 young people added their names to the electoral roll in the week before it closed on April 18.

As the date for the election looms, Monash students tell us whether they will be voting this year and what issues will sway them.
