The Election Commission and voter education

VOTER education is defined as an aspect of civic education designed to provide citizens with the knowledge, skills and values necessary to participate in the democratic political process. We need voter education to build public confidence, trust and respect.

The public’s confidence in the integrity of the election process is the main objective of voter education, which should cover election laws, electoral processes on election day, and open communication with officers of the Election Commission and political parties. Voters must be convinced that voting will make a difference, and voters must have confidence in the integrity of the electoral process.
