Indonesian General Election

Indonesia General Election will be held in two days. Unfortunately, this year we cannot participate with this democracy party. First, because we live far away from Indonesia and second, our place is not provided with TPS (Tempat Pemungutan Suara) or Vote Location. Bendigo is far from Melbourne, approximately 150 kms with total Indonesian citizens live there less than 20 people. Therefore, Consulate General in Melbourne decides to arrange "Post Election". It means that we can give vote through Vote Letter than sent by pos. Consulate has sent us two letters which are "Vote Paper", so that we can make election from our home. After that, we return it to consulate through Post.

No wonder that we can vote earlier than Indonesian citizens in Indonesia or in Melbourne. After sending it back, hopefully our votes can be counted soon on 19th of April. We expect that this little contribution (General Election) can emerge hope of our nation's future.
