00:00:01,274 --> 00:00:09,440
Presidential Elections and First Time Voters

2
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:14,640
Indonesians will celebrate a festival for democracy which will be held

3
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,240
on 9 July 2014

4
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:21,841
This presidential election is its 3rd direct presidential election

5
00:00:21,841 --> 00:00:25,040
and the winner will hold the position for 5 years

6
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:30,400
In every election, first time voters always become the source for the battle of influence

7
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:31,560
between the various political camps

8
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:38,080
This group will be wooed by every candidate

9
00:00:39,434 --> 00:00:44,640
The young voter has different characteristics from the other older voters

10
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:51,320
The young voter is much more critical, autonomous, independent, and positive to change

11
00:00:53,081 --> 00:00:57,840
But we must remember that the young voter is also a subject and political asset

12
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:02,233
They are not just objects of political rivalries between political parties and presidential candidates

13
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,043
Their voices also need to be heard

14
00:01:06,043 --> 00:01:07,920
Their interests need to be answered

15
00:01:08,912 --> 00:01:10,880
Their hopes:

16
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:19,640
My hope for the presidential candidates in 2014 is that they

17
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,560
create a real democratic system in Indonesia

18
00:01:23,001 --> 00:01:29,320
All this time my impression of these two candidates comes only from their efforts to fight each other

19
00:01:30,391 --> 00:01:42,081
(I hope) the supporting teams of candidates only broadcast information that's more positive to society

20
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:47,440
To prevent the spreading of hatred

21
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:48,911
towards either of the presidential candidates

22
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:58,240
My hope for the candidates is that they pay attention to creative workers

23
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,840
and that all the people who work in this field so that they don't (only) become spectators in their own city

24
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:04,240
Elli - Student

25
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:09,601
To the winner of this election, I hope that my country will develop more

26
00:02:09,601 --> 00:02:11,840
And that the president will fix the surge of unemployment

27
00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:14,680
Rule of law

28
00:02:16,676 --> 00:02:27,120
The next president must eradicate the abuse of drugs and narcotics, human trafficking... they have to be firm

29
00:02:27,752 --> 00:02:31,314
and exterminate all corruption at its roots

30
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:32,880
Aisyah - Student

31
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:37,000
To the elected president, I hope that

32
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,961
my province, Riau, will be free from forest burning and smoke from it so we won't suffer like this every year

33
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,120
Young people are like fire

34
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,120
If there is no channel for them, they will burn every where

35
00:02:49,538 --> 00:02:55,548
And once again, to the elected president, he should apply democracy

36
00:02:56,608 --> 00:03:01,320
So that the future generation will know what real democracy is
