She also noted that with a rise in voter turnout across the years, voter turnout in the upcoming December 7 elections would be high.

Addy stressed that while there is excitement about the elections, voters should not focus solely on voting itself but must actively participate in the entire electoral process.

She said her outfit has been engaging the youth with the necessary knowledge and awareness to make choices that benefit them and the country.

The NCCE boss noted that informing young voters about why they vote, who they vote for, and the implications of their actions helps voters make informed decisions and contributes significantly to the country’s democracy and value system.
