Four more days to cast our votes and what we need to keep in our mind is to make our decision wise. There are two important things that we need to keep in mind, or perhaps there are two goals that we need to achieve in the upcoming election. First of all and most importantly we need to get rid of the dictator Golhaa. To achieve this goal as an individual is a ‘simple’ task; simply cast your vote to a candidate other then Golhaa. But this might not be as simple as it seems, in the bigger picture. Vote rigging is almost inevitable considered the dictators history. And how the process is going on, that is registration for voting and eligible voters list, we are certain that Golhaa and his people might have bright plans for rigging the votes. In order to minimize this there are certain measurements that political parties and observers can take. Observing the voting process from the begging till the end is a must. From the time of opening the vote box, till closing and till counting and announcing, the process needs to be examined closely. In fact, very closely! Also before voting, the eligible voters list needs to be revised make sure that there are no diseased people in the list and no other such issues. Also the number of people who voted, and the number of people who actually registered to vote at a particular locations needs to be well monitored; if unattended there is no doubt Golhaas cronies will gather a good amount of votes for Golhaa.
The second part is the difficult part. It is choosing the candidate of choice for you to vote. Now that you have excluded Golhaa from the list, the second goal is to choose a candidate who would bring the changes to the Maldives that would brighten our future. In order to achieve this goal a background study of each candidate needs to be studied. We need to know what these candidates have done in the past. We need to know how they have been talking and thinking, and how their talking and thinking has changed over the past few years. We need to look deep into their manifestoes and promises. Also, we might need to leave our own ideas and follow the majority. We might have to leave the person we support, and cast our vote a person who is actually capable. We might have to cast our vote against our friends and family. What ever action we take, who ever we vote, what ever sacrifices we make, we should make it keeping in mind our future. Our parents, our kids and us… Vote for a change!

Very well said. Let us hope that everyone take notice and understand what exactly that we are trying achieve.
This is an important time to put aside our differences and unite to oust the dictator. If we are united, we can do it!
Just imagine how it will be without Golhaa!
The first priority is to get rid of the dictator.This is not going to be easy with his vast experience of vote wrigging for the past thiry odd years and countless number of elections both presidential and parliamentary. Please, anyone who cares to read these comments vote for any candidate other than Kaamineegey Maumoon.This is going to be the only chance we the People will get to remove him from power atleast, in the ordinary course of things, for the next five years. Let HIM be defeated in the first round and then we will think about who we will be really voting in the second round. This is the cry of our own Dhivehi Raajje.May Almighty Allah grant our prayer and that of the nation.Ameen.
This is absurd!!!
How the hell can these government cronies at Elections office handover the voter registration database to some company in India. This is a lot of national data and data that are of a rather private nature too.
Can’t they do this simple task by themselves or get a local consultant to do it.
