Afghan Women's Participation in Elections

Dear Countrymen
Our country is on an important historical stage because the election as a fundamental principle of the democratic governance of the country (democracy) and the peaceful transfer of power make it possible to bring about great changes in the representation of our representatives in the House of Representatives.
Present elections, as in previous periods, have the potential for widespread participation and the participation of all eligible individuals, which makes it important for us to vote and use our political rights.
The laws of our country also empower the citizens of Afghanistan to exercise their citizenship, which is also the subject of article thirty and the constitution.
The citizens of Afghanistan have the right to vote and to be elected. The conditions and manner of exercising this right are regulated by law.
With the choice of legislators and elites who are fully aware of the competences and responsibilities of the legislature, we can monitor the performance of government functions, comprehensive budget, and better regulatory arrangements.

Because of these Advisabilities:

• The Afghan Women's Network is calling on all eligible de facto compatriots to participate in this national process and elect their representatives.
• We call on the government's armed opposition to not disrupt the process and allow our people to exercise their right to vote in a safe environment.
• We also call on the Election Commission officials not to hesitate to try their best for the sake of transparency.
• We ask the Electoral Complaints Commission to investigate all complaints as soon as possible.
• We ask the honorable candidate to prevent all types of violations, fraud and electoral fraud.
• We ask the security authorities to take serious security measures in the area of security and safety of our compatriots
