It has finally hit me that there are only 12 days left till the latest parliamentary election, and I am extremely under prepared.

Usually by this time I’d be harassing all my friends about the importance democracy and the privilege of having the right to vote.

This year it seems with all the chaos around us we have let the campaigning pass us by. To correct this I will be doing the rounds this week to see who will be getting my vote. Time for the hopefuls to start wooing me if they expect to get elected.

Voting is extremely important in a small country like ours where literally every vote makes a difference. If  you dont know if you are registered by now click here to check. The Ministry of Interior has set up this webpage to allow you to check your registration status.

Also Sout Al Kuwait has made this excellent video to remind us all of how important it is to vote wisely.
