Project Vote 263 seeks to promote inclusive youth participation, multiparty democracy, good governance and constitutionalism. These are the four (4) main thematic areas.
In Zimbabwe, the youth population is significant with the last census in Zimbabwe showing that an estimated 4,702 046 people were aged 15–34 years in 2012, constituting 36 percent of the national population. According to the Research Advocacy Unit (RAU) and the Zimbabwe Election Commission (ZEC), in 2018 Zimbabwe had approximately 4.1 million youth between the ages of 18 to 35 who were eligible to register to vote but only 2 501 000 (61%) were registered to vote and only 38% were able to cast their votes on election day; approximately 1 520 000. This means 2 580 000 million young people did not vote in 2018 and 1 599 000 were not registered to vote. ZIMSTATS also estimates that there will be around 1.5 million youth who will be 18 years and above by 2023 who were not yet eligible to vote in 2018. There is close to 3 million young people who can potentially register to vote by 2023 and make a decisive impact on the harmonized election in 2023. Read More
