Thou shalt not deprive me of my voting rights!!!
I was going to do it anyway so tomorrow is as good a time as any. We're going to have breakfast then go to the nearest post office to perform the ceremony. Then we will proceed to complain, legitimately, about the government all the way home. Can't wait!
Here is what you need to know to register, nicked from this page of the Women's Aid Organization:
How do I register to vote?
- You have to register to be a person on the electoral roll to ensure your right to vote during the elections.
- You can now register to vote throughout the year at any post office, State Electoral Office or Mobile Registration in public areas. Starting from 1 July 2002, you can register to vote every day during working hours.
- To be eligible, you must be a Malaysian citizen, at least 21 years old and residing in a constituency.
- To register, go to any post office or the State Electoral Office.
- Bring your identity card (IC) with you, and fill in Form A (Borang A), which has four sections. You will not have to pay for this form.
- As proof of your registration, tear off the attachment in Section IV of Form A, and keep it with you.
- This entire process should only take you about 20 minutes, and you will help to bring real changes to women's lives.
- Application's name should follow the name on the Identification Card. Use BLOCK LETTERS.
- Include the correct Identification Card number:
- New Identification Card Number
- Old Identification Card Number
- If the applicant does not have an Old Identification Card number, please state "NONE"/"TIADA" at the stipulated area/box.
- The applicants' address should be the full permanent and contactable address (please state the postcode).
- State the type of application; new application or application to change the address.
- Get and keep the attachment of Section IV of Form A as proof of registration.
So, have you registered yet?
