SAUDI FEMALES VOTED TODAY, WILL THEIR VOTE COUNT ONLY HALF THAT OF A MAN’S……?

If they’re going to be consistent, a woman’s vote can’t be of same value of a man’s.

Since they are voting in separate polls it would be very very easy for them to count just every other one. Will anyone care to ask? Until it’s proven that it’s a one for one vote, it should be taken with a grain of salt.

Saudi Arabia’s women vote in election for first time

Women in Saudi Arabia have cast their first votes in the country’s history, in municipal elections.

Women were also standing as candidates, another first, despite the conservative kingdom being the only nation where women are not allowed to drive.

A total of 978 women have registered as candidates, alongside 5,938 men.

Female candidates have had to speak behind a partition while campaigning or be represented by a man. Turnout was high, state media reported.

About 130,000 women registered to vote, officials said. That figure still falls well short of male voter registration, which stands at 1.35 million.

Salma al-Rashed was the first woman to register to vote. “It felt really good,” she told the BBC. “Change is a big word but the election is the way to make sure we are really represented.”
