Hear why some Devon residents will be voting
As a woman I feel it’s important to vote, seeing how we fought so hard for the right to.
I think of voting as a chance to be part of helping make Devon a better place to live. It means I can have a say on the things that are important to me that affect my local community and Devon.
I’ll be voting in May because I’m having my first baby this year. Parents can make a big difference to their children’s future.
