The possibility of exercising this right is for us a great value that we feel as a duty&#8217;.  <\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To fix this unacceptable situation, Italy should follow the example of most European countries and offer at least two days for voting. It\u2019s essential to reduce voter abstention by providing every possible opportunity and method for people to cast their vote.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#FrankZappa says: #RegisterToVote\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/watch\/?extid=CL-UNK-UNK-UNK-IOS_GK0T-GK1C&amp;v=249086072419854\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/watch\/?extid%3DCL-UNK-UNK-UNK-IOS_GK0T-GK1C%26v%3D249086072419854&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1663244383039000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3HDmXa9QNLpMG2Ecs-0_6b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/watch\/?extid=CL-UNK-UNK-UNK-IOS_GK0T-GK1C&amp;v=249086072419854<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The rock band THE SUN &#8211; sensitive to issues such as peace, solidarity, and the environment &#8211; has spoken out on the impossibility of going to the polling station they&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":989313,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[59],"tags":[68,67,66],"class_list":["post-990089","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","tag-unisca-en","tag-votare-en","tag-vote-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/unisca.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/990089","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/unisca.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/unisca.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/unisca.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/unisca.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=990089"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/unisca.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/990089\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":990090,"href":"https:\/\/unisca.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/990089\/revisions\/990090"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/unisca.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/989313"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/unisca.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=990089"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/unisca.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=990089"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/unisca.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=990089"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
