Citizens, Convene!: Free and Fair Elections for Southeast Asia

Elections are the gateway to democracy for the masses. But ensuring that our voice creates the changes we want is difficult, especially in Southeast Asia where elections are frequently unfair and designed to favour some candidates over others. 

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

New Naratif wants to hear from you on how Southeast Asia can change, so that the voice of the people can be heard. Join our first ever Citizens, Convene!, a brand-new format from New Naratif where you can develop, debate, and discuss about the problems and solutions that face Southeast Asian democracy. No matter if you’re a seasoned political junkie, or a concerned citizen who wants to know more, we want to hear from you! 

Citizens, Convene!: Free and Fair Elections for Southeast Asia will focus on how we as Southeast Asians can ensure that elections are free, fair, and built to represent the voice of the people. Create your own plan on how to create, advocate, and demand for a Southeast Asia with free and fair elections that work for all! Together with our guest and expert Bivitri Susanti, Citizens, Convene will be the place for YOU to create the Southeast Asia that works for all.

Join us this Friday, 17th November from 8:00pm – 9:30pm MYT where we’re eager to hear from our community members on how Southeast Asia can be a better democracy for all. Tickets are free for members and US$1 for non-members and come with a FREE 3 month membership to New Naratif for a limited time! Get your tickets below!
