First, I want to say that Pemilu Legislatif
2014 was glee moment for me yaaa because it was the first time I have a chance
to have right in voting my representative for the betterment of Indonesia.
Actually I have not had right to get this
chance yet. I was 16th years old, you certainly know that the requierement age
to have Daftar Pemilih Tetap (DPT) for election must have Citizenship Card (KTP
now e-KTP) or mean have reached 17 years old, but me? Yes, there was big
conspiracy behind of that. Actually it need 2 months to reach my requirement
age to get DPT and join this direct election. Needless to say, I was very happy
by that conspiracy, I can nyoblos for
the very first time after all. Yuuhuu!
Now, I want to share my impression in this
Pemilu Legislatif 2014. There were 13 parties which joined this election. Every
parties have 6-9 personal candidate to sit in representative house DATI
II/I/RI. You can imagine how wide the ballot that we have to coblos, we must search one among 13 x 7
= 91 choices averagely in every ballots we got. The letters were written in
smaaallll size. I as teenager still have stress to find where was my choice. I
must search careful and slowly to find its *lebay ya*.
