Young people will have the opportunity to question politicians in a special Question Time hosted by BBC Three.
The show, which is being broadcast on the 3 March 2010, is being presented by X Factor host Dermot O'Leary.
The aim of the programme is to engage young people with politics ahead of this year's general election.
Young people taking part in First Time Voters' Question Time will question a panel of representatives from "the main political parties".
Danny Cohen, controller of BBC Three, said: "BBC Three has a unique role to play as the only youth-targeted British television channel with a regular and passionate commitment to current affairs.
"We have exciting plans to cover the build-up to the general election, and are keen to engage young people who may not typically watch political coverage.
"We're delighted to have Dermot O'Leary as our host for this programme. He is passionate about politics and hugely popular with young people."
