This right to register and exercise one’s franchise is an inalienable right that should not be denied citizens who qualify to exercise same.

It is for this reason that the NDC cannot be a party to any decision that seeks to constrict access to the electoral roll or disenfranchise qualified citizens from joining the electoral roll.”
