The elections that were held in 1967... for national office... of course, in the first place, could be participated in... only by people living in so-called secure areas... which excluded at least a third of the population... that were in areas so thoroughly under the control on the N.L. F... that the government couldn't even pretend to regulate affairs there.
As eleccións feitas no 1967 para a oficina nacional por suposto, en primeiro lugar, só podían votar nelas as persoas que estivesen dentro das áreas de seguridade. Isto exclúe polo menos un terzo da poboación que estaba nas áreas de control do N.L.F. Onde o goberno nin sequera pode facer que controla a situación alí.
