A youth organization in the northern district of Rumphi, Youth Net and Counseling (Yoneco) has trained 42 community based Educators to conduct voter education and act as monitors during the May 19 elections.
Yoneco's administration officer Stella Mpina says the CBE's will be deployed across the district to raise awareness on the electoral process.
"We believe that a well- informed public on electoral issues would help in ensuring free, fair and credible elections", she said.
Rumphi is among several districts in the northern region where people have been complaining about lack of civic education on electoral process from the accredited NGOs.
Robert Chirwa a vendor told AEP that he is among those who still don't know how to cast a vote.
"It will be my first time to vote but I tell you don't know what I am supposed to do on the polling day". -AEP
