What are White Cards and Who are White Card Holders of Burma? As we understand, White Cards are the temporary identity (resident) cards with White colour issued to those who haven’t got National Identity Cards or to those whose citizenship haven’t been identity yet or to those who are NOT Citizens of Burma. Therefore, it is wrong to give White Card Holders Right to Vote and we earnestly call for Government of Burma to revoke the White Card Holders Rights to Vote in Burma.

For example: In Australia, Permanent residents have the right to live and work permanently in Australia. They are eligible for state medical care immediately, but must be resident in Australia for two years before qualifying for social welfare assistance (i.e. unemployment benefits). They are not permitted to vote in Australia.
In UK: To vote in a UK general election a person must be registered to vote and also:
be 18 years of age or over on polling day
be a British citizen, a qualifying Commonwealth citizen or a citizen of the Republic of Ireland
not be subject to any legal incapacity to vote
