FREDERICTON — Election officials and student groups have launched a concerted effort to get students to vote in next week’s New Brunswick election — including flexible voting rules and the hiring of “election ambassadors” to generate excitement. Originally from Prince Edward Island, Blue is voting in her second New Brunswick election. She said the voter turnout among young people in 2014 was very disappointing. New Brunswick students have the choice of voting for candidates in their home community or in the riding where they are living while going to school. The overall voter turnout in 2014 was 65 per cent.
