"You don't have to be a councillor or someone with a high level of education to vote.

"You can be an ordinary teenager who is interested enough to have questions and thoughts about political issues such as the cannabis and euthanasia referenda."

The pair have recently been involved in creating informative short videos on the importance of voting and what it entails for young people, distributed to young people on Facebook.

Kawiti and Peter said they're looking forward to seeing the questions young people ask.
