Letter: Reach out into an alienated society and find those missing voters

Sir: I read your report suggesting that Rock the Vote had "struggled to get young people to register to vote". Moments later I walked into my office to find 4,000 of our voter registration cards arriving through the post. A good day, maybe, but not untypical of the response we have been getting to the cards we are distributing. Our campaign at the moment is low-key and aimed at getting young people to register. This we are doing in thousands. The Ministry of Sound's campaign is not about registration, it is about encouraging people to use their vote. This we will be doing much closer to the election campaign itself, when we believe it will be more effective.
