WHAT ARE WE ABOUT?
MVC’s vision is for a South African political and electoral system that upholds and reflects the constitutional principles of transparency, inclusiveness and accountability.
Popular Education
We produce popular education material to allow for a clearer understanding of South Africa’s political and electoral systems.
Research
We conduct research that helps to inform MVC’s advocacy and popular education activities, to provide an understanding of political and electoral issues and to provide policy alternatives for the South African political and electoral systems based on the changing economic and socio-political context.
Litigation
We initiate litigation, as a last resort, in order to ensure that the constitutional principles of transparency, inclusiveness and accountability remain the basis of our political and electoral systems.
