Mulcair: NDP Will Target Young Voters

Federal NDP leader Tom Mulcair says his party will target fresh faces in the lead up to the next election. Low voter turnout in the last election among those aged 18 to 25 has prompted the party to go after new voters. After a speech in Oak Island on Saturday, Mulcair told reporters it's one way the party can grow and boost its seats in the House of Commons. Mulcair calls the low turnout issue a "vexing problem".



Mulcair was visiting the South Shore for the first time since he was elected leader of the New Democrats in March. He spent part of the weekend with MLA's, MP's and delegates at the provincial NDP's annual convention.
