Jessica believes it is her responsibility to vote.
“I think it is my responsibility as a youth to vote in order to help facilitate change in the country,” she said.
“I think the more people who vote the more diversity it will bring to the elections and hopefully bring with it maybe not a new party, but more diversity to the parties in power.”
