00:00:01.274 --> 00:00:09.440
Presidential Elections and First Time Voters

00:00:09.840 --> 00:00:14.640
Indonesians will celebrate a festival for democracy which will be held

00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:17.240
on 9 July 2014

00:00:17.880 --> 00:00:21.841
This presidential election is its 3rd direct presidential election

00:00:21.841 --> 00:00:25.040
and the winner will hold the position for 5 years

00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:30.400
In every election, first time voters always become the source for the battle of influence

00:00:30.400 --> 00:00:31.560
between the various political camps

00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:38.080
This group will be wooed by every candidate

00:00:39.434 --> 00:00:44.640
The young voter has different characteristics from the other older voters

00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:51.320
The young voter is much more critical, autonomous, independent, and positive to change

00:00:53.081 --> 00:00:57.840
But we must remember that the young voter is also a subject and political asset

00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:02.233
They are not just objects of political rivalries between political parties and presidential candidates

00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:06.043
Their voices also need to be heard

00:01:06.043 --> 00:01:07.920
Their interests need to be answered

00:01:08.912 --> 00:01:10.880
Their hopes:

00:01:11.440 --> 00:01:19.640
My hope for the presidential candidates in 2014 is that they

00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:21.560
create a real democratic system in Indonesia

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

00:01:30.391 --> 00:01:42.081
(I hope) the supporting teams of candidates only broadcast information that's more positive to society

00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:47.440
To prevent the spreading of hatred

00:01:47.440 --> 00:01:48.911
towards either of the presidential candidates

00:01:49.320 --> 00:01:58.240
My hope for the candidates is that they pay attention to creative workers

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

00:02:03.600 --> 00:02:04.240
Elli - Student

00:02:04.720 --> 00:02:09.601
To the winner of this election, I hope that my country will develop more

00:02:09.601 --> 00:02:11.840
And that the president will fix the surge of unemployment

00:02:13.920 --> 00:02:14.680
Rule of law

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

00:02:27.752 --> 00:02:31.314
and exterminate all corruption at its roots

00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:32.880
Aisyah - Student

00:02:33.320 --> 00:02:37.000
To the elected president, I hope that

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

00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:44.120
Young people are like fire

00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:48.120
If there is no channel for them, they will burn every where

00:02:49.538 --> 00:02:55.548
And once again, to the elected president, he should apply democracy

00:02:56.608 --> 00:03:01.320
So that the future generation will know what real democracy is
