Today, Election fever is in the air.
People are making every effort to register and some are becoming frustrated. I just spoke to a young man who said he can't find his birth certificate and he wants to register. He now has to go to Nassau in order to get one. I was surprised to realize how many people have been turned away because they do not have the required documentation to register.
I fear for those first time voters. In this country there are so many people who do not have a passport, nor a birth certificate in hand. Now they would have to pay for an affidavit to prove that they are truly Bahamian. What about those people who are not working? Who is going to supply them with that $50 plus to get an affidavit?
Tonight, 19th March, 2011. The FNM party would hold its first Mass Rally at the Clifford Park in Nassau. The leader is going to report to the Nation the things that were done for the good of the People of the Country in the last 3 years and 10 months. Modern technology would have it streaming live on the Internet. I guess that is so that scholars out side the country can watch and listen.
This 'show tonight' at clifford park would start the race towards the 2010 general election, or it may be earlier!
So, as stated earlier, people who want to register and are being turned away due to documentation must be helped...not everyone has a passport, a birth certificate in hand, has no money to get to Nassau, nor a place to live when they get there. I would like for a way to be made for people to register without so much hinderance. Voters need help.
