I Am A Registered Voter Campaign

 Today as Real Agenda For Youth Transformation Trust we launch the "I Am A Registered Voter Campaign". The campaign seeks to show case voices among youths that are registered to vote. It also gives them the opportunity to tell Zimbabwe why voting is important to them. With this campaign we hope to inspire more youths to register to vote.  As Zimbabwe Electoral Commission takes the Voter Registration Blitz, we want youths who are registered to vote to encourage their peers to do the same.  Registering to vote amongst youths is partially fulfilling Section 20 of the Zimbabwean Constitution as well as political rights.  The campaign can be followed on our social media platforms. Below are some Youth Voices on I Am A Registered Voter Campaign.
