In general, some analysts do not argue that if young people actively participate in the electoral campaign and do not pick up the permanent voter card, we will be able to reach a decision, the support will be wasted.

For Nigeria, every eligible gatz voter gets im PVC and waka goes to the respective voting units with registered dey names and performs civic duty on election day.
