The NFP's Sabelo Sigudu says his party wants more young MPs.

"Young people must give other young people a chance to also be represented in Parliament." 

Narend Singh from the IFP says the youth need to be part of the democratic process.

"We will be going around to tertiary institutions and even schools where there are learners over the ages of 18 years - encouraging them to go and put their crosses," Singh said.  

The DA says those who registered to vote are exercising their rights to take part in elections.
