Zimbabwe 2022 By-Elections – Reflections from the Youth (Shona)

The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) reports that only 35% of registered voters participated in the March 2022 By-Elections. Notably, young people, who form the majority of Zimbabwe’s population, did not go out to vote.

In this episode, Accountability Lab Zimbabwe speaks to 5 young people to understand why they did not participate in the By-Elections. The podcast also asks if young people understand why it is important to vote, and shares some of the solutions young people are proposing to encourage others like themselves to participate in electoral processes. Note: This podcast is in Shona.
