Forthcoming policy developments

The evaluation of the First National Youth Strategy 2017-2022 and the adoption of the Second National Youth Strategy 2030 is two of the upcoming policy developments in the field of youth. 

Additionally, the operation of EkfraCY which is a special platform for the two-way communication between the government and young people is expected.

Ongoing debates

It is worth noting that the President of the Republic, during the State of the Union 2024, expressed his intention to reduce the voting age to 17. This proposal is a significant topic within the current debates surrounding electoral legislation. 

There is also discussion regarding the operation of the institution of Municipal and Community Youth Councils in light of the implementation of the Local Government Reform.
