After showing their voter's cards, completing their registration forms, and affirming all of the necessary paperwork that is required by law for two persons to cast their ballots side-by-side, Joseph Obele and his wife were allowed to insert their right index finger into the inkwells provided and proceed to the voting booths separately.
Upon completion of casting their votes - they both emerged from the polls with a satisfied smile on each other's faces - ready to spread literacy campaigning awareness through the remaining days leading up to election day.
