The Electoral Commission (IEC) on Tuesday launched a joint voter registration campaign with Wits University to encourage young people to cast their votes in future elections.

The campaign will include other tertiary institutions throughout the country, to boost youth participation in the polls.

The latest data by the IEC shows that only 26-million South Africans are registered to vote. The commission hopes to increase this number by getting more youths at the polls.
