As the regional uncertainty continues, #UAE households are moving into “defensive spending mode.” Around 65% are buying only #essentials or stockpiling, while #luxury and big-ticket purchases slow, data by Redseer show. Higher #fuel prices from April could add to the pressure.

If you've voted in most of the recent elections, and you've not changed your address in a long time, and if your name is deleted from the voter roll, it cannot be your responsibility to make sure it is still on the roll.
