Nearly 90 percent of people aged 18 and 19 polled by Kyodo News online find that political parties have not explained their policies for the Upper House election in an easy-to-understand manner.
The poll was conducted to gauge sentiment among teens who will get to vote for the first time. The voting age was lowered last year from 20 to 18.
Among the 1,550 youths who responded to the internet survey between Thursday and Monday, 88 percent held an unfavorable view of political parties' efforts to make their policies comprehensible, far surpassing the 12 percent who were satisfied with the information they received.
