Youth enrolments for the general election are far lower than all other age groups - again.
But as efforts to increase youth engagement ramp up on our university campuses, one expert warns they might not work.
Student Joanna Li is asking her peers what makes them angry. The answers include poverty cycles, systematic discrimination and climate change.
She's hoping that anger will prompt them to enrol to vote.
"I think the way you do that is to reach students where they are, go to gigs, go to the markets, ask them 'are you enrolled', 'what issues are you worried about'," she says.
But Li has her work cut out for her. Just 63 percent of eligible 18- to 24-year-olds, are enrolled.
By comparison, more than 90 percent of over 40s are enrolled.
While enrolments formally close on August 16, voters can enrol right up to and even on election day.
But even events aimed at encouraging younger voters may not work.
"A lot of the events that we have are aimed at the people that are already politically engaged and that's the trouble," Lana says.
Our youngest MP says renting and regularly moving house is another barrier.
"Many, whilst potentially enrolled, enrolled at their last flat which presents a massive challenge for the Electoral Commission," Green MP Chlöe Swarbrick tells Newshub.
The Electoral Commission says it has a comprehensive programme focused on boosting youth enrolment and it's hired 30 youth advocates to help.
