Questions and instructions

Literal question

13. Let’s talk about the last national election held in 2016. People are not always able to vote in elections, for example, because they weren’t registered, they were unable to
go, or someone prevented them from voting. How about you? In the last national election held in 2016, did you vote, or
not, or were you too young to vote? Or can’t you remember whether you voted?
