India's Gen Z Voters Set to Redefine Political Landscape

India’s Gen Z voters, aged 18 to 24, form the largest youth demographic in the country and are now eligible to cast ballots in the next general election. Analysts say that their voting patterns could shift party strategies, as this cohort prioritises issues such as employment, climate change, digital privacy and inclusive governance. Social media and online platforms are expected to play a crucial role in mobilising and informing these voters, potentially redefining how campaigns are conducted. Early polls indicate that turnout among Gen Z could be higher than in previous elections, signalling a significant shift in the political landscape.
