I WOULD like to comment on delays that the electoral commission is causing in United Kingdom.
Presidential elections are going to take place later this year, but all the Namibian citizens in United Kingdom have not registered yet. What I just want to say is, there are over 1 000 Namibians who are elligible to vote in the UK! * When are you (electoral commission) going to send the registration materials for us to register at the High Commision of Namibia? * Since it is so time consuming, will your register us all in these few months that are left? * Do you want us not to vote or what is your problem?The electoral commission is suppose to be there to make sure that all the eligible Namibian voters accross the world are registered well in advance.I have phoned our High Commission every week to find out when we will register but they also don’t know, because they haven’t nothing from you!! You (Electoral Commission) make sure because we want to start to register from next month please.Mervin Areseb London, United KingdomWhat I just want to say is, there are over 1 000 Namibians who are elligible to vote in the UK! * When are you (electoral commission) going to send the registration materials for us to register at the High Commision of Namibia? * Since it is so time consuming, will your register us all in these few months that are left? * Do you want us not to vote or what is your problem?The electoral commission is suppose to be there to make sure that all the eligible Namibian voters accross the world are registered well in advance.I have phoned our High Commission every week to find out when we will register but they also don’t know, because they haven’t nothing from you!!
