A study by researchers from the Universidade Católica Portuguesa in Porto for the National Youth Council reveals that, within the universe of young people who have already voted, 81.8% went to the polls in the context of legislative elections, 79.1% in municipal elections, 76.6% in presidential elections and 45.6% in European elections.

A study released this Monday indicates that 89.6% of young people have already voted in elections. Still, that percentage is significantly reduced regarding party or union militancy, with only 17.5% affiliated with parties and 2.4% % in unions.

This study, entitled "Youth political participation in Portugal: Results of an online survey and discussion groups with young people," was developed by researchers from the Universidade Católica Portuguesa in Porto for the National Youth Council (CNJ).
