to make their leader the pm. we're also going to take a close look at the top three things that you've told us are most important to young people when thinking about who you want to run the country. yes, we'll explain what happens when you vote, what exactly you can expect when you turn up at the polling station in your area that's listed on your polling card. and we really want to hear from you. it's your voice, your vote. jonelle from the bbc reliable source podcast is here with us and she's keeping across your questions. hi, yes, thanks, guys. we're live so get in touch with us with your questions. you can head to the bbc news account on tiktok. we'll try and answer as many as we can tonight. so, this live stream is all about reflecting the issues and questions of first—time voters as we head towards election day. how do we know what's on your mind? well, for almost three weeks, my colleague jordan from newsbeat has been speaking to a lot of you on a race across the uk. where are you now? hello from checkpoint 13. where are we? i will give you a clue, follow me. we are in newcastle. that is the tyne bridge you can see behind me. to explain a bit about what we are doing, we are racing across the uk, so we started almost three weeks ago now, in newquay, cornwall, and we are racing to the other end of the country before polling day, so we are trying to arrive in north—east scotland by wednesday, and along the way we are speaking to as many of you, so potential young voters, as possible about what is important to you. how do we decide where to go? that is yourjob. you have been setting the checkpoints along the way. 21—year—old billy asked us to come to newcastle to speak to people here about what is on their minds ahead of the election, so that is we are. ., . ,

different _ hearing about? we've been hearing about lots of different issues, - hearing about? we've been hearing about lots of different issues, and i about lots of different issues, and some of them specific to the areas that we are in at that point in time. there are themes that have been running across every checkpoint that we have got to. one of the big ones, cost of living. people are telling us they are struggling to afford to live in the uk right now and want to know what the next government will do about that. others include the nhs. people are concerned about waiting lists for treatment. and funding, how much money is being spent on the nhs and whether or not it is enough. and the other is housing, people telling us they don't know if they will ever be able to afford to buy their own home, and some saying they are struggling to afford rent and to move out of their parents' homes in some cases. those are the big three issues we've been hearing a lot on this right across the uk.— this right across the uk. and what we are doing _ this right across the uk. and what we are doing tonight _ this right across the uk. and what we are doing tonight is _ this right across the uk. and what we are doing tonight is all- this right across the uk. and what we are doing tonight is all about l we are doing tonight is all about answering questions. what is it people have been telling you they want to know? well, people have been telling us they want to know what the next government will do for them specifically. we are in newcastle right now. lots of people here have been telling us throughout the day they want to know what policies will affect them and change their day—to—day lives. that could be the cost of public transport, how much their car insurances. these are topics people are bustards about on the streets. if you are watching now and there is something you want to talk about, tonight is your chance to try and get an answer. drop us a message, jonelle will be across it on the tiktoks, and we will try and give you an answer on the programme. nice one, jordan. we will be back with you ina you in a bit. now we said we'll be focusing on three big topics. yes, the first of them is money. parties publish manifestos — which is a list of pledges about what they'd do if they end up forming the next government. in a moment we'll ask harry what the parties are promising to do. but before we get into all that, here's what you've been telling us. i'd like the prime minister to tackle the poverty crisis, and the crisis that renters face with private landlords. it was originally £8 to get the train in the morning there and back, and now it's £10. i have to work - full—time alongside my i degree to be able to afford it, i because sfe just doesn't cut it. the student finance isjust not enough. i and parents can't i always bankroll you. we know that roundabout 40% of students have considered dropping out due to the cost of living and also due to rent control. all right, harry's here, one of the bbc�*s top political reporters. harry, start by giving us a quick idea of the state of the economy and cost of living pressures at the moment. over the last few years, we have seen _ over the last few years, we have seen prices — over the last few years, we have seen prices go up for so many things. — seen prices go up for so many things, whether it is food, energy bills or— things, whether it is food, energy bills or transport, as we just heard — bills or transport, as we just heard. there are all sorts of reasons _ heard. there are all sorts

two reasons why prices have _ those are two reasons why prices have been— those are two reasons why prices have been going up so quickly. that rate at which prices are going up is now back down to normal levels. but that's why prices have been going up so quickly and things have felt expensive over the last few years. so what are the political parties saying? we will talk about seven of the biggest — we will talk about seven of the biggest parties. just for transparency, the reason we have chosen— transparency, the reason we have chosen these seven is because they have done _ chosen

huge topic on social media — users have spoken to us about the ways their changing their lifestyle because they aren't be able to afford things that they used to — thats from going out on dates to their weekly shop. emily told us she had to move jobs to be able afford her keeping car and others have told us they've decided not to go to uni because it simply costs too much. you can be part of the discussion, drop a question as a comment on bbc news on tiktok. thanks, jonelle. what will happen on thursday. so, if you've not already voted by post, how do you vote in person at a polling station? lola from bbc three's the catch up can explain. the place to head to is your local polling station. the address will be on your polling card. it will open at 7am, and close at 10pm, and when you get there, give your name and address to the staff inside. after you show them your id, they will show you to a booth with your ballot paper. the ballot paper has a list of everyone standing for election, and if they are standing for a political party. in order to vote, you put a x in the box, next to your chosen candidate. don't panic if you make a mistake. you can always ask for a new ballot. and if you feel the need to take a selfie, well, don't. there are laws to prevent intimidation or votes being revealed, so photos are deemed a risk. you may also see people hanging around outside. they are volunteers for candidates, called tellers, who are trying to get an idea of how many people have voted. they might ask you how you voted, but you don't have to answer, and they have to be polite. and that's how you cast your vote onjuly the 4th. if you'rejustjoining us, it's azadeh and callum here, and we're hearing from first time voters about the things that matter to them ahead of thursday's general election. and we've got more tips from lola coming up about how things will work if you're voting on thursday. plus, we're going to talk about the nhs. so, we've talked cash and the cost of living. now the second of those topics you've told us are most important, and it's housing and rent. let's hearfrom beth, who's in salford. one of the biggest issues i've faced is renting, so throughout uni, finding, well, cheap enough accommodation to stay in. and we ended up staying in the same house for two years, the price went up by £30 each month, and the quality of the housing just didn't get any better. we faced a lot of mould and itjust dampness in a lot of the rooms, it was very dated, and we were paying nearly £600 a month. to live in a house that wasn't really that great to live in, and wasn't even worth £600. and now that i have left uni, i am living somewhere else, but with another couple and my partner, and it's a two bed flat, and luckily we got it quite cheap, but for what we are actually paying, it doesn't really seem worth it. so one thing that i really want to look into while i'm voting is about the renting crisis, because it's obviously only going to get worse and worse as the years go on, i'm getting into the property ladder in the future as well, i don't really have much hope for it at the moment. and do you feel like any of the political parties are addressing any of this? do you even feel like they are trying to get your vote? i feel like a lot of the effort with trying to get young people voting has turned onto social media and kind of just mocking the other parties on their instagram pages and stuff like that. i feel like trying to get the younger voters in has come down to that, not really showing the that _ they're going to put place and stuff like that, so it is all off your own back on looking into it, and i feel like some of them are trying a little bit more, and there are some things from other parties that do— lee camp to me, so, violence against women and stuff like that, and _ children's breakfast clubs. i feel like stuff like that is so important, but for me the most important thing is the housing, housing and ring crisis, and ijust feel like it's not really being focused on that much. —— the housing and rent crisis. thanks very much, beth. beth isn't the only one to share those things. harry's still with us. what's the picture across the uk? housing isn't totally controlled by westminster so some of it might depend _ westminster so some of it might depend on where you live

the catch up has all you need to know. if you don't have an id on voting day, you will get turned away, so here's what to do. there are 22 acceptable forms of id in england, scotland and wales, and nine in northern ireland. head to this article to check out the full list of what you can use. most of you will take your passport or your driving licence, but make sure it is an original and not a photocopy. out of date ids are fine, providing you still look the same in the picture, and if you are voting by post, there is no need to send in your id as well. for everything else you need to know about the general election, go to the bbc website. if you'rejustjoining us, it's calum and azadeh live at 20 past seven, just about, and tonight we're hearing from younger voters about the things that matter to you ahead of thursday's general election. still to come: we'll bring you some tips for separating fact from fiction on your socials. plus we've got another tip from lola coming up about what to expect when you vote on thursday, and what happens if you cannot get to your polling station. which does happen, and it is important to know. but now the third of the big issues you've been wanting to know more about. it's the health service — the nhs. now governments in scotland, wales and northern ireland decide how much to spend on health. but there is a caveat — the overall chunk of money they get is decided by the government in westminster. and just to give you a sense of the scale of the nhs in our lives, at last count, the nhs in england treats and employs more than a million people per day, so it's no surprise a lot of you have questions about this. going back to harry, of all of the issues that we are facing right now on the health service, what sort of things? on the health

you can find on the bbc news website. so all you're all set to go and vote on thursday — but what happens if you can't make it to the polling station at the last minute? lola from bbc three's the catch up is back with what you can do. ok, so, stuff happens — maybe you had to leave town for work or you are too ill to leave the house. if you can't get to a polling station, you are going to need an emergency proxy vote. it is basically getting someone else to vote for you. you will need to fill in an emergency proxy vote form and return it to your local council. the deadline is usually 5pm on the day of the election. someone will need to confirm what you need a proxy. if you are too ill, it can be a doctor or health professional. if you are busy with work or last minute travel, it could be your manager. you will then need someone who is also harry, you're sticking around for a while longer to answer questions for everyone with us on the bbc news socials and on iplayer. so keep your questions coming. but another quick one from me first please. what actually happens on election day? on election day the polls open at 7am, _ on election day the polls open at 7am. you — on election
