Youth & Political Participation: An Insight into E-polling

'This is supposed to be a participatory democracy and if we are not in there participating then the people that will manipulate and exploit the system will step in there' - George Takei. At the beginning of 2012, global population exceeded 7 billion with people under the age of 30 accounting for more than half of this number (50.5%). Going by this statistic, youth are suppose to have a formidable impact in global affairs, but that is not the case in most countries. The political scene has witnessed tremendous advancement adjudged to the growth in Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Overtime, youth participation in governance in any democratic setting cannot be overemphasized, hence the drive for this book. This work is aimed at examining e-polling and how young people can be global players in world affairs, especially politics . Besides, this work would also be beneficial to person of all ages and other relevant corporate entities.
