Cast a ballot for Latvia's Youth Capital of 2026 candidacy
The Latvian youth opportunities festival "Kopums/ Mad Liepāja" is hosting a unique competition, where Cēsis municipality, Jelgava municipality, and Rēzekne city municipality are vying to become Latvia's Youth Capital 2026 [1]. The competition, which started on July 18, 2025, and runs until July 27, 2025, at 23:59, is taking place on the public media portal LSM.lv [1].
Each candidate municipality has provided pitches that can be viewed on the news service's portal. After viewing the pitches for the candidate municipalities, voting can be done [1]. To vote, you must have an account with Facebook (Meta), Google, Draugiem.lv, or use email [1]. Each person can vote once per day during the voting period.
The competition's results may not solely reflect the opinions of the municipalities' residents, as anyone from the country can vote. The winners of the competition will be announced on August 16, 2025, at the youth opportunities festival "Kopums/ Mad Liepāja" in Liepāja.
It's important to note that the competition is open to everyone, regardless of age. While the competition aims to highlight the best municipality for youth, voting is not restricted to young people. However, potential voters should be aware that the competition results might be influenced by individuals who have a personal interest in the outcome, such as municipal employees or people with an obsessive disposition.
