Generation Next: Young US voters' panel

First-time voters may have a big say in who wins in 2008

Are you a teenager in the US, aged between 16 and 18? Are you planning to vote for the first time in the 2008 presidential elections?

If so we would like to hear from you for a panel of young future US voters we are assembling as part of our Generation Next season.

Generation Next is a series of features and programmes which will run across the BBC from 2 to 9 December, exploring the world through the eyes of under 18s.

How do you plan to use your vote in 2008? What will influence your vote? What are the issues that matter to you as a teenager living in the US? Do you think your vote can make a difference? Is it worth voting at all?

Using the form below, tell us where you live and give some information about yourself - such as your age, hobbies and interests.

Please ensure you have a parent or guardian's permission to send this information. We will get back to the most interesting emails we receive from across the US.
