The @IECSouthAfrica launched a drive to get voters registered ahead of upcoming municipal elections.

It has been 5 days since Ethiopians voted and parties are still waiting for full results.

This is exactly why we built the Polling Agent Management & Results System (PAMRS) tool.

With PAMRS by the Political Campaign & Resource Hub (PCRH), your party gets verified results in real time, hours after polls close. Not days.

Don’t wait. Know first and strategise!

KwaZulu-Natal. One of the most hotly contested provinces in South Africa.

Yet more than 2 million eligible voters aren’t registered. And millions more who are registered won’t vote.

This is the #MissingVoter and in a province where elections are decided on razor-thin margins, those missing voters could change everything.

The biggest challenge in politics today isn’t persuasion, it’s participation.

This is precisely why the Political Campaigns Resource Hub (PCRH) is convening @IPE_Official_ #IPE27 , a global platform for campaign practitioners to confront the missing voter crisis and rethink how we campaign.

Because if you’re not fighting for every eligible voter in KZN, you’re already losing.

212,095 new voters registered in The Gambia. Good numbers for a start!

But here’s the question every political party should be asking: how many of those are YOUR voters?

Voter registration is not just an electoral body’s job. Political parties have a direct responsibility to get their supporters registered and to get them to the polls on election day. That is the full campaign cycle.

Too often, parties show up at the end and wonder where their voters are. The work starts at registration and it requires the right infrastructure.

The #MissingVoter isn’t just missing from the ballot box. They’re missing from your mobilisation strategy.

Here at the Political Campaigns Resource Hub (PCRH), we built a Voter Mobilisation Tool specifically for this. It allows your party to:

✅ Identify and track your voters
✅ Know who is registered and who isn’t
✅ Ensure they show up on election day

As a political party in Gambia, of those 212,095 newly registered Gambian voters, how many are yours? Without the right tool, you simply don’t know.

🇬🇲🇬🇲: The Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) of The Gambia has announced the registration of 212,095 new voters during the 2026 supplementary voter registration exercise held between 8 April and 24 May 2026, with 96,581 males and 115,504 females newly registered, alongside 8,169 successful voter transfers between polling stations. These additions will be incorporated into the 2021 general voter register following the publication of the provisional list and completion of the revision court process, with the final total number of registered voters for the December 2026 general elections expected to be released soon. IEC Chairman Mr. Joe Colley disclosed the figures during a high-level stakeholder dialogue at the Sir Dawda Kairaba Jawara Conference Center in Bijilo, where the Commission welcomed the surge in participation but expressed serious concerns over 24,058 cases of suspected double or multiple voter registrations. Colley warned that such multiple registrations constitute a criminal offense under Gambian law, and the IEC is taking appropriate measures, including ongoing adjudication, with possible prosecution or disqualification of offenders, while a 14-day appeal window has been opened for challenges to voter eligibility to be heard by the revision court.

The exercise, which deployed 100 registration teams nationwide, also facilitated the replacement of lost or damaged voter cards and transfers for those who changed residence, with party agents monitoring the process and the IEC intensifying voter sensitization campaigns. Stakeholders commended the Commission’s transparency and commitment to an inclusive process while urging stronger enforcement against electoral malpractices, describing the supplementary registration as essential for ensuring a credible, transparent, and inclusive electoral process ahead of the upcoming polls.

Do manifestos still sway voters? @ShikamoCampaign says campaigns are rarely won by manifestos. While a well-written policy document outlines a vision, it does not move voters to the polls. Elections are won by structural precision, technical expertise, and a flawless ground game

Campaigns are rarely won by manifestos. While a well-written policy document outlines a vision, it does not move voters to the polls. Elections are won by structural precision, technical expertise, and a flawless ground game. A brilliant strategy on paper is useless without the operational architecture to execute it. Winning requires data-driven voter targeting, seamless logistical coordination, and a highly disciplined field operation. Do not just write a vision for the future, build the infrastructure capable of delivering it. Build a machine, not a book. #VoterIntelligence #Shikamo

[Political Campaigns Resource Hub @ResourceHub_HQ]

Thank you @IECSouthAfrica for highlighting this critical data.
1.5 billion eligible voters don’t vote globally. Millions more aren’t registered. In the Eastern Cape alone, over 1.5 million eligible voters aren’t even on the roll yet.

The biggest challenge in politics today isn’t persuasion, it’s participation.
The ‘missing voter’, whether absent through non-registration, disengagement, or structural barriers is a central concern for political campaign practitioners across the continent and beyond.

It is precisely the kind of challenge that #IPE27, convened by us the Political Campaigns Resource Hub (PCRH), will address in Cape Town in 2027.

@IPE_Official_ is a global platform to rethink political campaigning and reclaim the #MissingVoter , bringing together political campaign professionals, electoral bodies, academia, researchers, political parties etc to engage this challenge head-on.
We look forward to the @IECSouthAfrica and its partners being part of that conversation.

Campaigns Are Too Important to Be Left to Chance.

The Executive Course on How to Run and Manage Political Campaigns is back.

Delivered through a pioneering partnership between the Political Campaigns Resource Hub and the University of Cape Town, this flagship programme is helping to professionalise political campaigning across Africa and beyond.

The reality is simple: successful campaigns are not built on passion alone. They are built on strategy, data, research, organisation, communication, mobilisation, and disciplined execution.

The demand for these skills continues to grow. The 2026 cohort is already oversubscribed, bringing together campaign leaders, political practitioners, advisors, and strategists committed to mastering the science and art of winning campaigns.

If you missed out this year, now is the time to position yourself for the 2027 cohort.

The future of political campaigning belongs to those who invest in knowledge, build professional systems, and embrace evidence-based decision-making.

Will you be part of the next generation of campaign leaders?

The World’s Largest Political Party Doesn’t Exist. It Is the Missing Voter.

Political parties spend enormous amounts of money trying to persuade voters who are already engaged. Yet the largest political constituency in the world is neither left nor right, ruling party nor opposition.

It is the missing voter.

The missing voter is the citizen who is eligible to vote but never registers.The missing voter is the citizen who registers but never casts a ballot.The missing voter is the millions who have quietly disengaged from politics altogether. The numbers should alarm every political strategist.

Globally, voter participation has fallen from 65.2% of the voting-age population in 2008 to just 55.5% in 2023. Put differently, almost one in every two eligible citizens is now absent from the ballot https://t.co/rUtBbgTYUA the late 1960s, average turnout in national elections stood at more than 77% globally. Today, it is below 67%, reflecting a long-term decline in citizen participation across many countries.

This creates a profound challenge.

Increasingly, governments are elected by a minority of eligible citizens while a silent majority remains on the sidelines.The question every political party should be grappling with is not simply:

How do we win voters from our opponents?

The bigger question is:

How do we bring back citizens who have stopped participating altogether? The future of political campaigns will not be decided by those who already vote.

It will be decided by those who do not.

At the International Centre for Political Campaigns, we believe that research, data, technology, behavioural science, mobilisation systems, and campaign innovation must be directed towards understanding and activating the missing voter. Because the greatest untapped political resource in the world is not funding.

It is the citizen who has disappeared from the political process @ShikamoCampaign @UNDAfrica @CampaignPulseHQ @ResourceHub_HQ
