At the last general election, three of the four seats with the lowest turnout, where the lowest number of eligible people came out to vote, were in Hull.

Alex Forsyth sits down with people who stay at home on election day to find out why.

She begins in Hull East, the seat which had the lowest turnout in the UK at the last general election, visiting Marfleet, a ward with low turnout at local elections. She explores how a pattern of not voting is repeated in other parts of the city. Alex goes on to examine the complex reasons for not voting and speaks to those who believe key events in the city's history might provide part of the answer.
