Each edition will bring you curated electoral issues including electoral information, news, insights, and trends, helping you navigate the evolving electoral environment.
We’re not saying we will be the hottest read of the season… but if you're into elections, you’re going to want a front-row seat to our new monthly newsletter.
Whether you're a policymaker, an observer, a voter, politician, or someone who just likes a good story — this one’s for you
___________________________________________
Each edition of ELECTALK will bring you:
Trusted Information: Our core mission is to disseminate clear, accurate, and timely information about elections, voter engagement, and democratic processes. No spin, no noise — just what voters and stakeholders need to know, when they need to know it.
Data You Can Use: Sharp snapshots of election related data — decoded, not buried in spreadsheets.
Policy and Practice: Updates on legislative changes, electoral reforms, and what they mean.
Election Mythbusting: Tired of misinformation? We are too. Let’s bust it wide open together.
Elections & Art: A mural in Budiriro, Harare, Zimbabwe mobilising citizens to vote ahead of the 2023 Harmonised Election.
Our Objectives
ELECTALK isn’t just about information — it’s about impact. Our goals?
Build Trust in Electoral Processes - Through providing information in a transparent and timely manner, we can bring electoral processes closer to the people it serves.
Empower with Insight - From grassroots to government, we want our readers to feel equipped, informed, and inspired to act.
Get Ready to Subscribe!
We’ll be rolling out ELECTALK soon and yes, there will be quotes, and maybe even a bad pun or two (we’re election people, not comedians, but we try).
Whether you’re defending elections or just want to understand how elections are working in 2025, this newsletter is for you. Want in early?
