THREE first-time voters today tackle three leading candidates from the main parties in a Daily Echo general election video special.

Students Ally MacMillan, 20, Nick Whithers, 19, and working mum Karmel Smith, 23, put the questions that matter to them on jobs, education and trust in politics.

In the hot seat are Labour candidate for Southampton Itchen John Denham, the Liberal DemocratsEastleigh candidate Chris Huhne and the Conservative candidate for Fareham, Mark Hoban.

Today, we will feature the questions on education, and tomorrow the focus will be on jobs, with a video on trust in politics on election day itself.

The production was in association with Southampton Solent University.
