The time is here for us to vote for the political representatives in our country. Wherever you are, and in whatever local government, you need to know how to stay safe during elections.
For weeks now, the campaigns and rallies have been flooded with violence, and we don’t want you to get caught up in all that mess.
Here are important tips for you to stay safe during the 2019 elections:
1. Don’t argue in public
Don’t join any argument that deals with politics. They usually get violent. You don’t want to be a victim.
2. Be on time
Arrive at the polls on time. 8 am is 8 am. This helps you vote on time and avoid the tension that may develop later in the day.
3. Don’t let people know who you’re voting
Never! You don’t know if someone else is planning to hurt the people supporting another opponent so there would be higher chances of winning.
4. Don’t criticize any politician
Leave them to their work. Don’t criticize them during this period. Write social media posts or journals to criticize. Don’t do this in public.
5. Don’t wear political campaign uniforms in public
With this, you could get harmed by an opposition party. It’s better for you to be on the low.
6. Always listen to news
It’s essential for you to know what’s going on in the area. Listen to the radio for updates on safety. If there’s a shootout or fight somewhere, the breaking news will come up.
7. Don’t take valuables to election polls
If you don’t obey this rule, your valuables could get missing or stolen. The voting process won’t let you monitor your valuable. You’re trying to watch out for your safety instead.
To interact with people, you could take a smaller phone along or take just one phone and hold it tight.
8. Stock up your stomach with food
The voting process is stressful, and you’ll stand for a long time. Take your breakfast before leaving the house so you don’t faint or get stressed.
9. Go straight home
Don’t branch anywhere. Just go to your house and rest after voting. It’s not safe to be hanging around.
10. Minimize outing
During the entire election period, especially days before and after voting, you should reduce the number of times you go out.
You should also reduce the number of places you go to.
11. Keep your PVC well!
Don’t let another person use your PVC. It belongs to you alone.
Stay safe!
