Yippee! I Have Registered To Vote

My house instantly got an IEC convert-turned-prophet who started waving his registration card in our faces and gave us a million and two reasons why we should go and register to vote. With the pressure from a would-be first-time vote heavily weighing on me, I finally trooped off to the registration booth today.

No I didn’t register outside the registration window and the today alluded to here is four days ago. Usually when the people of our republic are called to register to vote, they take it easy and wait for IEC to shout until they are blue in the face. Then the political aspirants weigh in with expressions like ‘voting is your God-given right so register to vote’, ‘register to vote and make your voice heard’.
