You Have the
Power to Shape
Zambia's Future.
Operation Young Vote mobilises young Zambians to register, vote, lead, and drive inclusive national development — because democracy belongs to everyone.
Six Pillars of Youth
Empowerment
From voter registration to policy advocacy, OYV works across every dimension of civic life to ensure young Zambians are heard, represented, and empowered.
Civic & Voter Education
We educate young people on their democratic rights, the electoral process, and the importance of every vote in shaping Zambia's leadership.
NRC & Voter Registration
We drive campaigns to help young people acquire National Registration Cards and register to vote, ensuring no eligible citizen is left behind.
Advocacy & Lobbying
OYV lobbies national leaders and governance institutions to adopt youth-responsive policies, tackling inequality, discrimination, and vulnerability.
Leadership Development
Through mentorship, training, and youth forums across all provinces, we build the next generation of civic, political, and economic leaders.
Human Rights & Democracy
We champion reforms that strengthen accountability, good governance, and the rule of law — securing fundamental rights for all Zambians.
Climate & Emerging Issues
Annual campaigns on climate change, digital spaces, HIV/AIDS, and public health equip Zambian youth to face the challenges of tomorrow.
A Generation That Leads
"A prosperous and inclusive Zambia led by empowered, motivated, patriotic and innovative young people with fundamental rights for all upheld."
Established in 1999 and formally registered in 2000, OYV has built a network of chapters across every province, district, constituency, and most wards in Zambia.
