Ahmed and Keren dig deep into voting. Who gets to be counted, and who doesn’t? Why should we bother to participate in a system that doesn’t represent us? And amidst a federal election (advanced polls open now!) and the civic election immediately after, what are the criteria to which we evaluate our candidates?
