GOD, GOSPEL & GOVERNMENT - Christian Civic Responsibility
As you are well aware the General Election is on 23 September 2017. It is under 6 weeks away!
Here are some alarming statistics! One million eligible New Zealanders did not vote in the 2014 Election! They have been described as the missing million! Of these about 750,000 enrolled but did not vote and about 250,000 did not even enrol.
In New Zealand voting is not compulsory (in Australia it is) but enrolment is required by law.
In the last NZ Census (2013) 45% of the population described themselves as Christians. Assuming that the voting & eligibility ratios among the Christian population are the same as the rest of NZ’s population then some 450,000 professing Christians did not vote. Even if we reduced this figure by almost half then a very conservative estimate would be at least 250,000 professing Christians did not vote in the last election!
