Homeland

Canada is one country that gives its citizens the right to vote, but as people know, voting takes time, money and work. However, Eritrea is a developing country where voting doesn't exist. Still, it spares the government from wasting money and time and workers to organize votes, helping them focus on other political and local matters.

Canada

People in Canada are fortunate to have the freedom to vote for their chosen party, and as many do, to vote in Canada, you must meet specific requirements. Firstly, you must be eighteen years old or above to vote. Secondly, you can vote for one party of the five: the Green party, Liberal party, Constitutional party and Bloc Quebecois. Thirdly, and most importantly, you must be a resident in the electoral district and a citizen of Canada. Lastly, to receive information on when and where to vote, you must register on the voting list, and once that's done, Elections Canada will send you voter card information.

Eritrea

In contrast, Eritrea is a single-party state that does not practice voting. Since its independence in 1993 ending the war of 30 years in Ethiopia, Isayas has been the leader of the Eritreans that lived there before civilized Eritrea before officially becoming a president. Additionally, Eritrea has been colonized by 4 countries including Ethiopia, the UK, Italy and Especially, Turkey which colonized Eritrea for 300 years! And therefore, Eritrea really needed a president like Isyas to keep the country intact and strong from any sudden attack by Goliath. An election is especially non-existent because if the country chooses a president who is either resistant to war, greedy, liar, or racist, the country will be in great danger.

In accordance, voting in Canada is a good form of helping the citizens exercise their rights; however, the money and time spent on elections could have been spent on crucial matters such as clean water initiatives, shelter for the homeless and mental health initiatives. In contrast, the absence of voting in Eritrea allows this newly independent country to spend money and time building more hospitals, and bathrooms in rural parts of Eritrea.
