Last Monday 2 March 2009 we organized and facilitated a meeting of representatives of groups from different parts of the country trying to promote registration of first-time voters. This effort deserves the help and collaboration of as many people and networks as possible. Consider this: by 2010, voters from ages 18-35 will comprise around 60% of all voters. Of these, 9 million will be first-time voters, if they are registered. At the present rate of registration, only from 4 to 5 million new voters will be registered for 2010.
The youth represents the swing vote during the elections. They are not just the future; they are already the present. They need to take the lead role during elections 2010 while the young at heart make room for and mentor them.
