OUR MISSION

We want young South Africans to register for voting, choose responsible leaders, and learn how to hold them accountable.

You arethe change

Your pledge is your promise to vote and participate in our country's transformation. Pledge to cast your vote on voting day.

WHY VOTE?

Make waves. Be the change. Let your voice be heard.

Voting makes a democracy real. It gives you a voice, and your voice can inspire true transformation. It’s the greatest power you possess. Use it and start creating the future you want. By voting, you are becoming an agent of change.

You are no longer just an observer, but you are actively shaping the future of your country, your community, and your life.
