The zeal around voter registration is a good thing. Like a journalist’s pen, a voter identification card is a powerful tool for the citizens to decide how they are governed. There is no law that requires that a citizen who has reached the age of maturity must register as a voter. Individuals who don’t participate in the election of political leaders do not lose the right to demand services and to hold leaders accountable. Let us take responsibility for our country and vote out leaders who have not performed irrespective of their ethnic background.
