Pledge To Register
#PledgeToRegisterZW is an online campaign and election engagement project which allows Zimbabweans to pledge to register to vote once electoral activities resume. The campaign leverages social media platforms and outreach to encourage every citizen to make a firm commitment—in the form of a “pledge to register” —as a way of encouraging voter participation and the awareness of civic responsibilities.
The pledge also calls on citizens to challenge their communities and social networks to participate and do the same.
