The writer Hassan Ahmed Al-Lawzi says the great success achieved in the process of registration of new electors who have become legally eligible for elections is no doubt attributed to the good work done by the young persons who have fulfilled their duties as it should under the leadership of the supreme commission of elections. They have deserved all kinds of praise and appreciation and acquired a national certificate for their performance despite the great difficulties surrounding them. The deep awakening and keenness on implementation of laws and taking deterrent and correcting measures are enough to make us all assured that the reasonable movement in the democratic process is moving forward towards the realization of one of the greatest national goals in this year distinguished by the presidential and local elections.
