It has been a long week for some, this Sunday are the presidential elections in Venezuela. I read something that seemed so shameless and ridiculous to me, that in Peru there are currently approximately 1.5 million Venezuelans, of which 900 thousand are the voting population, despite them only 589 people are eligible to vote. This is totally absurd, it is not even 1% as the requirements they asked for: permanent residence, passport and ID... The majority in Peru have refuge or "special" immigration status as they call it, some do not have a valid passport because the price is expensive and much less valid identity card, many have arrived more than 5 years ago without being able to return to Venezuela to be able to renew the identity card, and at the consulate they do not process that document, only a passport. In addition to these 3 requirements, they ask for a payment of 120 dollars. My question is, in other countries do they charge to exercise the RIGHT to vote?
