Across board, the work towards Nigeria’s 2027 General Elections continues, and young people must remain central to that process. On the 5th November 2026, Kimpact Development Initiative (KDI), under the Youth Electoral Reform Project (YERP-Naija), Phase IV, convened the Second Stakeholder Roundtable on Voter Education and Youth Participation in Abuja.

The roundtable brought together representatives of INEC, NOA, NYSC, civil society organisations, youth-led organisations, political parties, the media and other stakeholders to examine how voter education can be strengthened, barriers to youth participation addressed, and technology leveraged to support meaningful engagement in the electoral process.

Discussions drew on evidence from the YERP-Naija Reform Tracker, including over 656 reports submitted by young Nigerians across the country, and explored practical actions stakeholders can take ahead of 2027. The message remains clear; that young people must not only be encouraged to participate; their concerns, experiences and voices must also shape the electoral process. #YERPNaija

Nearly 30 million Nigerians aged 18-34 are registered voters, almost 30 million young voices with a stake in our democratic future. Across all six geopolitical zones, young people serving through the CVE CDS are taking civic and voter education into their communities, engaging citizens and encouraging informed participation. As Nigeria approaches the 2027 elections, young people cannot afford to be spectators in a process that shapes their future. Informed citizens, stronger democracy!🇳🇬 #CVECDS #NYSC

Ndewo, ndị ntorobịa! 👋🏽 Think elections concern you only when it’s time to vote? Think again. The rules guiding elections matter, and so does how they are put into practice. As we move towards the 2027 General Elections, young Nigerians can play a role by following electoral reform implementation, raising questions, engaging electoral stakeholders and staying informed. You don’t have to wait until election day to get involved. Know the process. Ask questions. Stay engaged. Explore YERP-Naija: yerpnaija.ng/site/
