Final report : the Namibia voter education project -- October 15-December 15, 1992

The project"s goal was both educational and motivational -- to inform Namibians about the process and purpose of the 1992 Regional and Local Elections and to motivate them to register to vote and ultimately to cast ballots. This project sought an approximate voter turnout of 60%. In spite of a late start and delay in equipment deliveries that necessitated major last-minute program revisions, the project was a considerable success. Nationally, voter turnout was 82.9%. In many of Namibia"s more heavily populated constituencies, more than 90% of the voters cast ballots. A few polling stations even recorded a 100% turnout. (Author abstract)
