The Voter by Chinua Achebe is about choices between tradition or modernity. Roof, a bicycle repairman, is given the opportunity to run a political campaign. He aims to do his best and enthusiastically embraces his new profession. Unexpectedly, Roof is offered a bribe and is immediately seduced to take the money! His saving grace is a belief in the traditional; Igbo "Iyi" that demands people do as they promise. He solves his dilemma by tearing the paid votes in half and putting one piece in each voting box, keeping his word but canceling out the vote!
