Al Jazeera English published this video item, entitled “Ethiopia’s Harar, Ogaden and Tigray excluded from electoral vote” – below is their description.
Voters in Tigray and two other regions in Ethiopia have been excluded from taking part in the country’s parliamentary elections.
That’s despite Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed declaring victory in the war between federal soldiers and Tigrayan fighters last November.
The electoral commission says the regions of Harar and those in Eastern Ethiopia need more time to prepare for the polls.
Al Jazeera’s Mohammed Adow reports from Harar.

In This Story: Vote
Voting is a method for a group, such as a meeting or an electorate, in order to make a collective decision or express an opinion usually following discussions, debates or election campaigns. Democracies elect holders of high office by voting. Residents of a place represented by an elected official are called “constituents”, and those constituents who cast a ballot for their chosen candidate are called “voters”. There are different systems for collecting votes, but while many of the systems used in decision-making can also be used as electoral systems, any which cater for proportional representation can only be used in elections.
In smaller organizations, voting can occur in different ways. Formally via ballot to elect others for example within a workplace, to elect members of political associations or to choose roles for others. Informally voting could occur as a spoken agreement or as a verbal gesture like a raised hand or electronically.
