A REACTION ABOUT 2010 ELECTION

National Election is one of the highlight of a country, in which people has a power to participate and exercise their right to vote. In fact, people are waiting in more than 6 years for the new leaders in our country and to our own government as well. They are hungry for the new development and for the new administration to exercise their duty which is to improve the welfare of the people.

The 2010 Election is the first automated election in the nation. Indeed, people are deem this as a new know-how as a citizen of a Democratic country and since folks are now using the new technology devices to vote.

And talking about experiences during election, as a “virgin voter” I can say that it is not doubtful to fall in line, looking for my name in a like chalk and cheese cluster area and asking for a priority number so as to I can get my secrecy ballot as earlier I can. Indeed, people are getting more angry, tense, edgy, nervous and excited to exercise their right to vote. In fact, I witness the usual bond between the voters and the B.E.I (teachers) such as clash and highly voice are there. And it is almost 8pm when I receive my secrecy ballot but waiting for a long time in more than 5 hours is just a nothing. In fact, I felt the happiness when I get out from the election area with all the smiles and proud that I am now a true blooded Filipino.

On the other hand, the 2010 automated election is considered as a successful event. Indeed, in just 24 hours people knows whose candidate won in local election and whose candidate has a possibility to lead to walk in the isle and led the country. The national and local election is one of the highlight of the country in which they give more importance. This election is recorded historically, for the first time in my life I witness on how the 2 important and prestige person concede their ticket to won in the National Elections. And although there is a critic on the capabilities of the automated election I am proudly to say that this is the alternative way to combat the problem of failure of election in the country and as well as the “Pandadaraya” behaviour can be lessen.
