Ken Livingstone urges CWU members to register to vote
Labour London Mayor candidate Ken Livingstone spoke to CWU reps from across London today (Tuesday) about the upcoming mayoral election, his key policies, and the importance of getting working and low-income people registered to vote.
At the gathering of around 50 activists, Ken revealed that he's already spoken to Ed Balls about releasing funds for a major council house building project for the capital. Housing, transport and jobs are top of Ken's list of policies to put Londoners first.
Ken explained that polling shows he picks up far more votes among younger people than his Tory rival Boris Johnson, who is more likely win votes from the over-55s. Expressing concern, however, Ken shared some worrying voting information which shows that young people and those from poorer backgrounds are least likely to be registered to vote.
"It is vital that we make sure all people in the workplace are registered to vote", Ken told activists.
