90% of afghans register to vote
with elections coming in october, the afghan population has, it would seem, embraced a major tenent of democracy:
90 Percent of Afghans Registered to Vote [ap via abc, august 2, 2004]First tallies since the eight-month registration drive began winding down on Saturday show that 8.7 million of an estimated 9.8 million eligible voters have collected ID cards for the Oct. 9 election. Forty-one percent of those registered were women.
i think it’s something like 75% of americans that are registered to vote.
i wish them well.
