This is another topic from a friend who wrote into the ContactMe tab on this site. From what we read and hear on the media it sounds like the General should be around the corner and of late im sure you would have seen Election Commission booths all over the place encouraging the public to get registered. The new term that has been flirting around lately is a Phantom Voter. Know what a Phantom Voter is? Read this Story

If you read the above story of the Phantom Voter, its amazing how someone who has never voted in his life goes to register and discovers that he has been a registered voter in a part of the country he never been too! Amazing isn’t it??

Oh well..we shouldn’t be pointing fingers or accusing anyone, in the world of IT and technology mistakes like this are bound to happen. Only something with full human intervention will entail to some sort of accountability(i hope).

Lately i have read about a few cases of the same magnitude and it only could mean that your a voter but you are not voting, someone or something else is doing it for you!

I know it sounds a bit messed up but the truth of the matter is you can fix this!

How?? Get your self registered to be a voter, check if all your details are up to date and you have done your part!

This is the Delirium 3 step recommendation in preventing you from being Phantom-ized!

Step 1

Register your self to be a voter(You need to go to a SPR counter to do this)

Step 2

Log onto the SPR web site and check if your details are correct,you can do it HERE

Step 3

VOTE!

The way i see it you only can become a phantom voter if you never checked,how you fix it?? YOU CHECK!

And if you don’t vote,you loose your whinning rights! You dont want to be left out when everyone is whining isnt it??
