Should We Do The Election if it is Doesn't Change Anything? (English Task - SPRING)

As we know Indonesia is already did the direct election for choosing President twice, in 2004 and 2009. This country has some characteristic of elections. There are Direct, General election. Free, Honest and Fair. But, is it truly happen?

The election Direct means that voters are required to vote in person and not be represented. General elections meant to be followed by all citizens who already have the right to use voice. Free means that voters are required to cast their votes without any coercion from any party, then the secret meaning of the votes cast by the voters is confidential only known by the voters themselves. The principle of "Jurdil" which stands for "Honest and Fair". The principle implies that honest elections must be conducted in accordance with the rules to ensure that every citizen has a right to. The principle of justice is equal treatment of voters participating in the election and, without any privilege or discrimination against certain participants or voters. The principle of free and fair bind not only to the voters or election participants.

The facts is different with the condition above. As we know, Indonesia has a huge member of population and not all of them who has already seventeen years old join the election. The reason is they didn't registered yet. Its cause they live inland and they don’y mention it at all. That is meant, not all of them travel their right to choose, so the election committee not success yet and of course the election didn't fair too. Second factor of failure of election is, there are a lot of people who are not use their suffrage is not because they don’t registered, but because they have no choice. That is mean, parties in this country didn't gives good socialization to prospective voters. The worst thing that usually happen is the parties gives some money or something to the prospective voters. Its aim the prospective voters choose their candidate in the election. Its mean, the voters not choose because of their faith to the candidate, but about the money.

As a young, we should know that those facts really happen in Indonesia. The “good” system  they said is not run well. We should understand it before we have the real fair election.
