QUESTION OF THE DAY
Section 12 of the elections act deals with Qualifications for registration. It reads:
“(1) Subject to section 13, a person shall be entitled to have his or her name entered on a register of voters in a constituency if he or she-
(a) is a citizen of The Gambia;
(b) has attained, or will on the date of the holding of the next election attain, the age of eighteen years; and
(c) is resident, or was born in that constituency.”
This is a simple matter and does not require any dishonest conduct. Let us abide by the law and it will yield peaceful registration of voters and peaceful election.
