We need an amendment that gives us the right to vote protected by the federal government and the Constitution.

If you're going to do something to hurt the district I represent, I can't vote for it.

As chief elections officer, it's my job to protect the integrity of the ballot.

My government is committed to carrying out electoral reforms. It is our firm resolve to keep criminal elements away from power.

Any time you have loose ballots, you have to worry about shenanigans. It's a shame such a hard-fought election has to come down to something like this.

I want to be the candidate placed on the ballot by the people, not the party.

There are many hands touching ballots after a voter drops his ballot into the ballot box. There is no guarantee of ballot secrecy for anyone, which makes the whole system vulnerable to intimidation and bribery.

Office holders are a self-selected group; you don't get elected if you don't put your name on the ballot. There are many people who would do a great job, but who would never think to run. Find them. Badger them. Get them elected. They might not thank you for it, but a lot of other people will.

Demand the ballot as the undeniable right of every man who is called to the poll, and take special care that the old constitutional rule and principle, by which majorities alone shall decide in Parliamentary elections, shall not be violated.
