Five days of fun activities have kicked off as the youth of Breckland gear up for their very own election night.
The district's first ever youth council will be voted in on Friday but before the big day dawns a range of activities have been laid on by the district council in a bid to enthuse Breckland's youth and encourage them to vote.
Throughout this week a mobile ice rink will be making its way around the district.
It is being accompanied by the Kiss FM Street Team, who are providing music and fun, and the Light Dragoons from Swanton Morley, who will be displaying some of their armoured vehicles.
Young voters will be given a unique code which will give them online access to all of the candidates and the chance to vote for who they feel best represents their views.
Today the ice rink was at the Queens Square car park in Attleborough.
