# The EFF is urging South Africans to submit comments on its draft Electoral Matters Amendment Bill. The bill seeks to introduce Automatic Voter Registration, ensuring that young people are automatically captured in the voters’ roll from the age of 16. The EFF says the exclusion of millions of eligible voters, particularly young people, from the electoral process, is one of the biggest obstacles to democratic participation in South Africa. It adds that expanding participation in elections is critical to building a more representative, accountable and inclusive democracy.
