SOMALIA!!! Somalia starts issuing voter ID cards - Video

You can't make this up! Not only is Voter ID widely popular in the US, even in Somalia’s electoral authorities have started issuing voter ID cards across Mogadishu as the capital prepares for its first direct municipal council elections in decades under a “one person, one vote” system. Printing at the Somali Independent Election Committee headquarters operates around the clock in two eight-hour shifts, producing an estimated 30,000–40,000 cards daily; each printer turns out 2,000–3,000 cards, and officials expect to finish printing for seven districts this week. Distribution has begun in multiple districts including Hamar-Jajab, Waberi, Shangani, Hamar-Weyne, Boondheere, Abdiaziz and Shibis, with nearly one million residents registered across Mogadishu and the wider Banadir region.
