How come there are still people who can't read in this day and age?
Instead of giving them symbols, thereby encouraging them to remain illiterate, we should stick to YES or NO [and names of candidates during normal elections]. Indeed, we should make life completely unbearable for illiterates. After all, primary education is free...and there is no age limit; as the late Kimani Maruge demonstrated.

I would rather my grandmother enjoyed her twilight years with the grand and great grandchildren instead of going to school so that she can vote
lack of consideration for people with lesser abilities than us is what has made us a man eat man society
though maybe not related to election and referedum I think literancy is overhyped I dont think we are any better than our great grandparents society
Some you win some you lose
