In a scandal-filled election, will Greece’s youth be decisive?

Major scandals, from a tragic train collision to government wiretapping, may make this the most unpredictable election in more than a decade. Adding to the uncertainty, an estimated 440,000 young people are set to vote for the first time. How important will their vote be?
