People for the first time I went to vote ,yup I listened to all the propaganda on TV and went despite My mom's attempt not to make me go 'well she supports the Nasri party'
I went to say No ,yes No
simple any person who uses his or her mind right will tell you that this change is no change at all ,just a new look for old ugly face ..So it is no no no
even if they falsify it and they will do it and already did as I am writing this but at least I said what I feel ,believe and think
I don't want to be a silent devil
Ok no further talking in side talks back to the main event
I dressed nice as usual and went with my aunt to the election committee ,I got my ID card with me as my aunt got hers ,as we don't have election cards as the majority of the Egyptian people
We got our id cards as it was told in the TV and newspaper 'go you don't need the election card, go vote ,go don't be passive' and we listened as fools
anyway we went to the election committee , but surprise ,all what is said in the media for weeks were lies you need an election card if you didn't born between 1981-1986 ,but if you are born between those 8o's show you can vote ,if and only if your name is registered in the list
My aunt won't vote despite the claims in the TV saying she can vote with her ID card ,also she asked in the Police station on Monday and they told her the same nonsense, but good news is I can vote with My ID card ,check my profile you will know I am from early 8os girls ,but bad news my name is not in the list ,it seems it is in another committee so I have to search for it
I would go to the police station to see where my name is
So I went for the police station for the first time in my life ,a new world I entered with people looking to me and my aunt as aliens ,well not aliens but two decent ladies from another world especially me with my big black Guess Sun glasses
there in the police station there was a big surprise many people men ,teenagers and women like us didn't find there names and went to search for it 'what an order!!'
in brief after s0 many people didn't find their names cursing the goverment saying comments from the kind 'why the hell do we come for? Why do you bother us? ",my turn came ,I searched with the man in the archive
then I didn't find my name , I found my friend's name instead ,she lives in Mansouria in Cairo-Alexandria way
why Didn't I found it ?
BECAUSE I WAS BORN ABROAD
YES THE REGISTRATION IS BY BIRTH PLACE
anyway the man in the archive told me to come next week to get a new election card so I can vote in the important election coming in July 'no no nonononononononono'
I left with my aunt cursing the Government who tricked us ,and really admired my mom opposition act
anyway MY Grand father went and said NO NO NO NO NO
At least some one said NO from our family
almost the same with me, but i didn't continue to the police station, i'm waiting from Dec. to receive the election card
ReplyDeletedon't feel dissapointed, at least someone did something, negativity is the real ennemy, imagine that 60% of the Egyptians was positive like you from 1954....
Whether you voted or not, the end result would have been the same. and I don't necessarily mean falsifying the results.
ReplyDeleteummm.... Interesting.... listen to this... I applied to my voting ID in October got my number "57" .. went back to receive it in October, December and March. In the 3 times there was not a single employee to give it to me. There was always a ready made excuse with the person in the room.
ReplyDeleteat that adress below you'll find someone who managed to vote with ID, I can't assure why, but may be because he was among others of the NDP ?
