Polotical Election !

At 9th of April as an Indonesian citizen, I take my right to choose the prospective legislative people both in province and national. This is my first time I participate in a politic election ! Well, I've been 17 years old since 5 April 2009 :) That's why I say it's the first time I choose, it's my new experience too !

Honestly, I have no idea which one is my choice. I don't know who is proper to be our leader. I don't know the quality of the parties !

The D-day, my mother, father, little brother went to the place of choosing (we call it TPS standing for "Tempat Pemungutan Suara"). About my little brother, he wouldn't participate. He had a homework to draw a sketch of TPS, my mother helped him to do it. First thing that we should do in the process of choosing, we register our self with the commitee by showing the invitation paper that we've got a few days before. Then, we waited for our turn.

We were very lucky ! as I remember we got there at about 9.30 am. There weren't many people yet at that time. We didn't wait so long then. I was called. I received 4 pieces of paper. I walked to a chamber where the participants choose their own choice by giving a checkmark on the "chosen area". I did it. Hummm, I can say that I chose without basis, my own thinking about which is the best to be our nation leader. Finally, I chose a party.

After I finished to give 4 checkmarks on 4 pieces of paper, I fold them up and put them into a box. There were 4 box represented each categories : national, provinve, regency/city, and regional representatives and each category were in 1 paper. Finally, after I done those things, I dip my little finger into a cup of ink. It signs that I've chose, I can't chose again. haha, I saw my aunt's finger were dipped till the nail. lol

That's all ! My first experience in a political election :)
