On 9 April 2014 was my first time doing a general election. Because the previous 5 years, I have not reached the age of 17 years. I am very happy and also confused because this is the first time. I still do not know what I should do. And I asked for help by my parents. I ask the opinion of how to conduct elections. Because, basically, I do not understand the political world challenge. Therefore I had to exchange opinions with my papa. And he gave me feedback about the Who's should I choose. And the feedback is quite helpful to me.

And when election day arrived I came along with my father at about 10 am. Elections conducted in elementary school not far from my home. When I came not too queued as possible because I was early or arriving too late. First thing to do is fondly re-register as a voter. Then I had to wait until my name was called. And when my name was called, I diberika 5 paper should I coblos. After that I went into the booth that has been provided by the committee. When I opened my ballot still confused who should I choose. I follow what my heart and my heart hopefully not one that I choose leaders who can bring about change towards the better.
