Mr Martin you seem to have dumb us down as if we Church going people need a special rule to be responsible voters. I dont understand why you believe this will keep us from the voting booth on time. BPT is a myth not a reality. Encourage people to be on time and follow the rule. ie. Nov 2 is the voting day not Nov.3 … we seem to follow that one with no special rule.
