Civil society organisations in South Africa (SA) are urging renewed efforts to encourage young people to participate in Local Government Elections.
The call is amid concerns over steadily declining voter turnout.
Activists warn that growing numbers of young SA citizens are choosing not to register or vote, raising questions about the health of democratic participation.
They argue that restoring confidence in public institutions, strengthening civic education and responding to issues such as unemployment and inequality will be critical to re-engaging younger voters.
