Afghans both men and women who are eligible can participate to the elections. By recognizing the power of their vote, people go to the voting centers to receive voter registration cards throughout the country.
The importance of elections, with an efficient registration process and support of the tribal and religious scholars by their propaganda about the role of elections in the society, are the reasons behind the palatability of people with elections.
Media beside other social roles plays an important role to aware people from upcoming elections and persuades them to go to ballot boxes and vote for anyone they wish.
