Voter Education Programme for 2009
People need to be informed of their rights and responsibilities within a democracy which includes education on the technical aspects of casting one’s vote.
Approaches to such information campaigns often apply a top-down approach with information passed on to potential voters. Having considered this, DDP identified the need to make these educational interventions more interactive and enjoyable.
