coming of age

i register to be an overseas elector. this is a complicated process involving painstaking review of my passport details over the past three and a half years, to be laboriously uploaded onto a webpage that has an unexpected propensity to kick me out before the action is complete, which is proceeds to do, three times, before i finally succeed in reaching the final submission page.

why, you would think they were trying to discourage me.

in any case, i press on. it's taken decades, but this time around i will be an engaged citizen participating in civil discourse and determination. yes sirree.

tried to do so earlier this year for the GE. Reached a road block where they asked for dates in & out of the country over the last three years....I gave up. Can't even remember what I had for dinner last week, let alone my trips back there for the last THREE years. There has to be an easier way especially since they scan one's entry & exit to & from the country at the immigration counter.
Probably a good way of creating hurdles for those of us who have had more worldly experiences ...
