Only 60 percent of eligible citizens are now registered.

The total state vote in 1984 was 7,000,828, or about 62 percent of the estimated eligible citizens.

Remarkably, 10 states still ban such otherwise eligible citizens from voting for life.

At the same time, 99 percent of the 200 million or so citizens eligible to vote gave less than $200.

All eligible citizens were all to speak and vote in the assembly, which set the laws of the city state.

Service is also extended to eligible American citizens residing abroad.

The state agreed to inform all eligible citizens on the list that their voting rights would be restored.

The registration fee is $75, with senior citizens eligible for a $25 discount.

Each country may issue, to an eligible citizen, an East African passport.
