You have to be one for 6 months to vote in a leadership election.
It’ll also be interesting to see if there’s an increase in the time taken to process such applications (or in the % rejected).
Let state investigators secure justice. As we process the scene, stay peaceful and give them space.
The State has the personnel to keep people safe – federal agents must not obstruct our ability to do so.
