The Electoral Commission of Namibia will conduct surveys to determine factors that contribute to voter apathy and low voter turnout in electoral processes. 

This was highlighted during the motivation of the budgetary allocation of the Electoral Commission of Namibia.

In his motivation, the National Assembly Speaker Professor Peter Katjavivi said voter apathy and low voter turnout have been eminently evident during the period of 1998 - 2020 in respect of the Regional Council and Local Authority elections, by-elections as well as national elections.
