Civic and voter education is needed to reduce voter apathy among the youth in the upcoming general elections in November.

This is according to the speakers at a civic education workshop in Walvis Bay, who expressed concern over young people lacking interest.

Social Enabled Education Namibia, the American Embassy, and other partners invited young people and political leaders for a civic and voter education session.

The youth were informed that they can shape the future of the country and influence societal matters.
