To Vote Or Not To Vote

Today I’m going to talk about to vote or not to vote, a topic very important nowadays. This sunday we go to vote for choose at the next mayor and a group of the councillors in every municipality of country. In my case this is the first time that I'm going to vote in the commune election. My polling place is the school called Marcela Paz, in San Bernardo.

I think it is important to vote because each vote matters for a democratic election. Every vote received is the reflect the will of the people.

All citizen over 18 years old have the right to vote, although Chile switched its voting system, a voluntary vote rather than mandatory and automatic enrollment. With this new reform in the electoral system you don't feel obligated to vote, you are free to choose, between to vote or not to vote. Although, I don't understand the indifference of some citizen, they are not planning to vote at all on October 28, maybe they think that your vote is not going to make a difference, anyway, i consider that not to vote is a wasted vote.

It's up to us to choose who we want as leader of our municipality. My recommendation for this sunday is to vote for  the best candidate (in your opinion), someone who will actually do things to improve the situation of place where you live. For this reason is it worth to vote this sunday. Every vote matters. So, let's vote!
