Ola Hussein, Iraqi

Ola was determined to be the first one to vote in the election, so she got up at 4.30am on the morning of the election. "I'm a young woman and shia and wanted to do this, it was an amazing feeling. I haven't actually voted in the UK elections yet because I was too young, but my dad has told me that if I don't vote he will kick me out of the house!"
