Discussion | Early IEC figures suggest higher levels of voter participation

As South Africa's voter registration weekend gains momentum, early figures from the IEC point to encouraging levels of participation, particularly among young people who are stepping forward to make their voices count.

While registration is an important milestone in the democratic process, it also presents an opportunity to reflect on the broader role of civic participation in shaping the country's future.

Across communities, many South Africans continue to engage with the democratic process as a way to influence change and contribute to the nation's development.

This raises an important question; how can we build on this momentum and strengthen public confidence in the power of democratic participation to drive meaningful progress?

Joining us to discuss this are Founder of the Election Management Consulting Agency, Lulu White, and Executive Chairperson of the Institute of Election Management Services in Africa, Terry Tselane.
