    "content": "The current process of voter registration which is denying people with waiting cards registration is evidently unfair. People already feel that this process will never be fair. So, whatever we do in future, people will not see this process as free and fair. Hon. Deputy Speaker, apart from the law, I do not see any reason why we cannot use waiting cards. Even with the current process of registration of persons, most of the vetting is done at the local level and not at the headquarters. In reality, a waiting card is as good as an ID. Therefore, it beats logic that people should be denied voter registration using waiting cards. With that, I support this Motion and call upon the Committee on Implementation--- It is the Committee that is failing us. It should take this Motion and literally force the IEBC to make sure that we use waiting cards for voter registration. Thank you."
