'I'm really, really excited to be voting'
Twelve teenagers, from a range of constituencies, answered a series of questions in a group interview with BBC News NI.
The young people, who had all taken part in a YMCA Youth in Government course, are all eligible to vote in a general election for the first time on 4 July.
The first question they were asked was: ‘Are you going to vote’. All 12 said they would.
