So many days off

If you like to work in a country that there are many days off, whether due to religious reasons, national celebrations, or it is the day after presidential election, or it is because citizens won't go pick up their voter's card unless you give them a day off during the week, then you should come to Africa.

City folks of Bamako have to run around too much / work multiple jobs to make ends meet and they probablly don't think they can count on their government, so go pick up their voter's card is the last thing on their mind. It isn't structured here enough to have postal system for everyone. The government gave everyone last Wednesday off so people can go pick up their voter's card. Unfortunately the voter turn out was still low on Sunday, a whoping 25%. Then for reason unclear to me the government decide to give everyone a day off again today. Tomorrow is international worker's day (like our Labor Day), again we are off.
