    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, what the amendment seeks to do is to clarify that anybody who has attained the age of 18 years and who has attained a waiting card can register as a voter and within three months, once they receive their identification card then they can vote so that we do not lock out many young people who do not have identification cards within this period. The earlier amendment did not clarify also what this document was because it referred to it as a provisional identity card and if you look at what is issued, it is very clear. It is written “acknowledgment”. It is not an identity card. So, we have provided a further provision that clarifies for the purposes of the section that “The acknowledgement of registration certificate means a certificate issued by a registration officer, but it is not an identification card that you are given pending the issuance of this card”."
