U Vote was initially launched in 2007 as we saw the need to garner the views of the tens of thousands of young persons in secondary school who were actively becoming engaged in the politics of the day. This exercise proved both successful in its concept but also educational in nature and historic in the results generated (in 2007 we were the ONLY poll to correctly predict the general elections outcome).
With the advent of an early election in 2010, many administrators and students alike once again requested that our earlier initiative be continued. Although we experienced many challenges we remained undaunted in our mission to involve and educate and even without major sponsorship expanded this initiative to a wider geographical and demo-graphical cross section of secondary schools.
