The activist group Egality is encouraging British voters to give their right to vote to individuals in developing countries affected by UK policies on war, climate, and poverty. Britons can register on www.giveyourvote.org to donate their votes to Afghans, Bangladeshis, or Ghanaians. On the eve of the election, they will receive a text message indicating who wants to vote for which party. Many Britons, including student Fanny Rhodes-James, 23, see this as an exciting way for their vote to make a difference globally. Egality expects thousands to register, as turnout in Britain's last two general elections was low compared to previous years. Egality stated that when we criticize our political parties for being too similar and claim that voting is ineffective, we overlook the important perspective of vulnerable people in developing countries. These individuals can have their lives drastically impacted by decisions made in British government offices, known as Whitehall. Kwabena Okai Ofosuhene from Ghana believes that having a say in British elections is crucial due to Britain's influence on international financial institutions, like the World Bank, which play a significant role in Ghana's development. He also highlighted the UK's status as one of the world's top economies and a key trading partner for Ghana. Ofosuhene, who works for an NGO, also emphasized the importance of Britain's political power. He stated that America would not have taken action in Iraq or Afghanistan without the support of the UK. Britain is a major contributor of development and humanitarian aid, having donated 5.5 billion pounds ($8.34 billion) between 2008 and 2009. Egality allows potential voters in these countries to submit questions for British politicians, and British volunteers can relay these questions to their local representatives through debates or media channels. The campaign coordinator, May Abdalla, likened Egality's efforts to a UK election campaign, similar to the work of the Electoral Commission. A spokesperson for the Electoral Commission noted that as long as votes were not being paid for, the Egality campaign was not illegal, and expressed that they were not familiar with a campaign of this nature before.
