Poder Ciudadano, TI’s chapter in Argentina, has developed a programme called “The First Vote” aimed at informing young people voting for the first time in local elections at beginning of June. The programme has organised a debate between candidates and provided young people with the opportunity to exchange concerns regarding the elections and meet the candidates running for mayor of Buenos Aires. |
The debate was divided into three topics for discussions: education, heath and security. Each area featured four candidates to debate the subjects with first time voters. Presidential elections in Argentina are scheduled for October 2007. The programme will continue to pursue its effort to encourage the younger generation of voters to actively participate in Argentina’s democratic process.
Other initiatives underway in the region to educate young voters include lectures from TI's chapter in Colombia at 19 universities and disussion groups on politics organised by Corporación Chile Transparente, TI's contact in Chile, to motivate young people to vote and be active citizens.
