Nepal’s young voters account for more than half of the country’s eligible voters. Contemporary young voters are more educated and have greater access to information related to elections and policymaking than those in the past. To consolidate Nepal’s democracy against the backdrop of increasing youth political awareness and their participation in the elections, political actors need to understand their voices and aspirations. Therefore, understanding how young Nepali voters feel about the country’s election mechanism, political parties, and politicians is crucial. This research project, carried out when the country was going toward the 2022 federal elections, aims to assess the perspectives of Nepali youths about politics, political parties, and the federal elections. With a nationally representative stratified random sample size of 1,080 youths, the study has been undertaken to help key election and policy stakeholders in the country to understand better young people’s impressions of and expectations from the elections, political parties, and political leaders.
