The “Haya Chabab” initiative was launched by the Superior Youth Council (CSJ) last Thursday in several wilayas of the country, with the aim of encouraging young people to register on the electoral lists in view of the presidential election scheduled for September 7.
The “Haya Chabab” awareness campaign is a continuation of the initiatives launched by the CSJ aimed at raising awareness among young people of the importance of their active participation in the electoral process, the council indicated in a press release. The outreach work of members of the CSJ will continue in the different wilayas of the country to raise awareness of the need to register on the electoral lists during the exceptional revision period, which will continue until June 27.
This initiative includes the organization of several awareness-raising and field work activities, raising awareness among young people of the importance of the electoral process as a civic behavior for individuals, reflecting the depth of democratic practice, as well as the programming of Intensive outreach activities for members of the CSJ across the different wilayas of the country.
