# As Ye Sow, So Shall Ye Reap! Register and Vote!

A Philippine voter-registration poster from the U.S. Asian poster series. It pairs a farmer sowing seed with a man dropping a ballot into a locked box and borrows the Biblical proverb 'As ye sow, so shall ye reap' to make the same claim about voting. The proverb carries the moral weight; the poster offers no argument beyond the analogy.
