Nik Nanos says one in three people questioned were not aware an election is taking place in October.
He says interest about the vote is lowest among young people.
Nanos says only 52% of Millennial’s are aware that a municipal election is taking place.
He suggests that politicians need to pay closer attention to youth issues to get more young people interested.

The study also finds that a large majority of us aren’t aware of how much of our tax dollars are going to the municipal level.
