NID on the NBC Talk of the Nation Panel

Namibia Institute for Democracy was recently invited to be part of a panel discussion on NBC Talk of the Nation. 

As we gear towards the 2019 Presidential and National Assembly Elections, ECN and its stakeholders are conducting one of the most important pre-election events, voter's education. In every election, voter and civic education are necessary to ensure that all constituents, including first time voters, understand their rights, the political system, the contestants, as well as where and how to vote. 

 Though if the recent Ondangwa by-elections are to be considered, there seems to be serious loopholes in this process. Against this background, Namibia Institute for Democracy was invited to be a part of the panel discussion. The discussion further addressed the issue of voter's apathy and the importance of youth participation in elections.
