IMAGE DESCRIPTION: A series of video clips are shown in quick succession. The clips show: a mother taking a family selfie with two tween daughters and their father in a kitchen, two teenaged girls performing a viral dance routine, a girl with long wavy hair rolling her eyes at the camera and sighing, a group of young people carrying books and backpacks and laughing in a corridor, a mother and daughter smiling at a parent's evening, a father and son examining a car tyre, a mother and daughter chatting on a couch, and a mother encouraging her son who is working at a laptop. Text reads, "This Global Day of Parents, did you know that young people can register to vote in Scotland from the age of 14? Recent research shows that parental influence is a huge factor on political engagement for young people aged 11-15 in Scotland. 48% of young people are interested in politics if their parents are, but only 3% are interested if their parents are not. You can help your teen to register to vote online at www.gov.uk/register-to-vote."

Growing Up in Scotland Study findings have shown that almost a quarter of young people in the study who didn’t vote in the 2021 Scottish Parliament election weren’t registered to vote in time or didn’t realise they had to register. You can register to vote online, in advance, from the age of 14 at www.gov.uk/register-to-vote. You do not have to wait for an election to be announced.
