Don't Vote in Afghanistan?

I'm not sure if I completely undertsand the article I just read on CBC News "Don't Vote Afghan Public Warned"

Apparently there is an election soon approaching in Afghanistan however there are "enemies" which is how they are referred to in the article who are trying to stop this election from happening. They have threatened the people of Afghanistan by saying: "If you help the election take place, let your house be used as a polling station, rent your truck out to carry ballot boxes, you risk violent retaliation in the weeks to come"

This is not fair. The people of Afghanstan should be able to vote without putting their life on the line. It is a person's right to vote. They should not be threatened for voicing their opinion. Why has the world come to this?

We need to give peace a chance.
