    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I am not sure whether the Constitution really compels a person to vote, I believe if such a law was to come into force, then there should be a provision for abstention. If someone goes to vote, there must be a provision where a voter decides not to vote for either of the candidates. However, the more serious issue here which seems to be missing these days from voter registration and voting is the issue of residence. There is now a tendency for candidates to transport or trans-locate voters from one area to another for the purpose of voting. This will nevertheless disenfranchise the people residing in that county from electing people of their choice. In amending the law, there should be a provision that strictly says that it is only people who are proved residents of that constituency or county who are eligible to vote there."
