Are we obligated to participate in the upcoming election?

As the Presidential elections are coming close, we begin to see a lot of people asking numerous questions about whether or not they should partake in the process.

Generally speaking, participating in voting is positive, with a positive outlook, and everyone needs to hold on to that. However, many may say that that they want their vote to reflect their interest, which, at the current moment, does not exist. 
 
Having said that, we can’t wash the hands, the negative stigma, that Egyptians carry because of the current regime for this upcoming election.
 
In fact, we have to confess that the current regime killed the normal cycle of political life and we need to understand that responsibility of any regime, especially after two revolutions, is to enhance the political life not kill it. 
 
In conclusion, I want to emphasise that participating in political life is a personal choice and we will see what Egyptians want to say to the regime in this upcoming election.
