Abstract
The purpose of the study was to inquire into the causes of apathy and its impact on service delivery in Malawi, with regard to the conduct of Local Government Elections. The intention was to investigate reasons for very low voter turnout as well as why people of high calibre do not compete for office during local government elections. Finally, the target was to suggest strategies for increasing voter turnout and the election to office of well-enlightened and exposed individuals with analytical skills. The study explored what notable scholars have written on the subject matter as a reference point for both causes of voter apathy and possible antidotes. For the field research, using both quantitative and qualitative research methods, the study explored the phenomena from election stakeholders. Focus group interviews, one-on-one interviews, self-administered questionnaires, documentary and observation by the research were the methods used.
