Millions of Ethiopians are set to cast their ballots in the country's national elections, but a significant portion of the population remains excluded from the process. Despite the government's efforts to increase voter registration, millions of eligible citizens, particularly those in the restive Tigray region, remain unable to participate due to ongoing conflicts and logistical challenges. The elections, which are seen as a crucial test of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's leadership, come at a time of great uncertainty in the country, with many Ethiopians questioning the legitimacy of the electoral process. As voters head to the polls, concerns about the integrity of the elections and the potential for further unrest are likely to dominate the conversation.
