Some 16-year-olds are so determined to gain the right to vote, they're about to take their case to the High Court.

Make It Sixteen, a youth-led campaign, will have their case heard on Monday.

They say the current voting age of 18 is unjustified age discrimination and it must be changed.

Ella Flavell is part of Make It Sixteen.
