MSPs are keen to hear about the experiences of 16 and 17-year-old voters who took part in the independence referendum.
An online survey has been developed by Holyrood’s devolution (further powers) committee and asks young people if they thought the historic event led to a broader engagement with political debates.
Schools, colleges and youth groups are also being encouraged to submit video clips which convey the views of young people.
Committee convener, Bruce Crawford, said: “We are particularly keen to hear from young people across Scotland about their experience of voting for the first time in this year’s referendum.
“We saw an unprecedented level of interest and democratic engagement around the referendum and we are determined to ensure young people continue to be engaged in Scotland’s democratic and political processes.
“This online survey aims to gather information from those who were eligible to vote as part of the committee’s efforts to engage with young people on a long-term basis.
“In addition to this survey the committee is hosting events in different parts of Scotland and adopting a range of approaches that will allow young people in any part of Scotland to question committee members and to offer their views on giving 16 and 17-year-olds the vote.”
The Scottish Government has told the Smith Commission, which is examining new powers for Holyrood, to devolve election powers to enable 16 and 17-year-olds to vote in the 2016 election.
The Scottish Youth Parliament is campaigning for the age to be permanently lowered so 16-year-olds can take part in all elections.
