If they're in office, do they still have to wear burkas and head shields?

"NO no, my dear, I don't mind if you go out and vote. Not a problem at all. Just remember, when you get back, I'm going to have you beaten and blinded for not having my clothes washed, my dinner on the table, my children fed, my dick sucked, and my lunch packed for tomorrow. No hun, you go on ahead and take the day to vote."
"What?! you don't want to be beaten and maimed for disrespecting my wishes?!!?" "Than I suggest you just stay at home."
good christ, I'm glad I'm not a muslim woman.
