Election Committee Sub-sectors Elections 2006

This is the first time I voted at a "small circle" election. Even though I don't agree on it, I think it's important to make sure those I support are in and those I don't are out.

P.S. Today's the International Human Rights Day. What a coincident.

Article 21(1) of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: Everyone has the right to take part in the government of his country, directly or through freely chosen representatives.

Article 25 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights:

Every citizen shall have the right and the opportunity, without any of the distinctions mentioned in article 2 and without unreasonable restrictions:

(a) To take part in the conduct of public affairs, directly or through freely chosen representatives;

(b) To vote and to be elected at genuine periodic elections which shall be by universal and equal suffrage and shall be held by secret ballot, guaranteeing the free expression of the will of the electors;

(c) To have access, on general terms of equality, to public service in his country.

I think it's great that you are so involved in the political process! I really need to pay more attention to our policy makers....
