ELECTORAL APATHY

Sir, - Television pictures of the queues of people waiting to votein Zimbabwe made me sad to think that in our democracy so many peopledon't bother voting. There are still places in our world where peoplehave no right to vote and many groups are strongly campaigning tohighlight this fact.

What about a creative campaign to help people see how important itis to go out and vote? I for one would be happy to help out from achurch point of view. I believe that we as citizens of Ireland arestill morally obliged to vote, whatever way we vote. - Yours, etc.
