    Presidential Elections and First Time Voters
  • 0:10 - 0:15
    Indonesians will celebrate a festival for democracy which will be held
  • 0:15 - 0:17
    on 9 July 2014
  • 0:18 - 0:22
    This presidential election is its 3rd direct presidential election
  • 0:22 - 0:25
    and the winner will hold the position for 5 years
  • 0:27 - 0:30
    In every election, first time voters always become the source for the battle of influence
  • 0:30 - 0:32
    between the various political camps
  • 0:33 - 0:38
    This group will be wooed by every candidate
  • 0:39 - 0:45
    The young voter has different characteristics from the other older voters
  • 0:45 - 0:51
    The young voter is much more critical, autonomous, independent, and positive to change
  • 0:53 - 0:58
    But we must remember that the young voter is also a subject and political asset
  • 0:58 - 1:02
    They are not just objects of political rivalries between political parties and presidential candidates
  • 1:03 - 1:06
    Their voices also need to be heard
  • 1:06 - 1:08
    Their interests need to be answered
  • 1:09 - 1:11
    Their hopes:
  • 1:11 - 1:20
    My hope for the presidential candidates in 2014 is that they
  • 1:20 - 1:22
    create a real democratic system in Indonesia
  • 1:23 - 1:29
    All this time my impression of these two candidates comes only from their efforts to fight each other
  • 1:30 - 1:42
    (I hope) the supporting teams of candidates only broadcast information that's more positive to society
  • 1:43 - 1:47
    To prevent the spreading of hatred
  • 1:47 - 1:49
    towards either of the presidential candidates
  • 1:49 - 1:58
    My hope for the candidates is that they pay attention to creative workers
  • 1:58 - 2:03
    and that all the people who work in this field so that they don't (only) become spectators in their own city
  • 2:04 - 2:04
    Elli - Student
  • 2:05 - 2:10
    To the winner of this election, I hope that my country will develop more
  • 2:10 - 2:12
    And that the president will fix the surge of unemployment
  • 2:14 - 2:15
    Rule of law
  • 2:17 - 2:27
    The next president must eradicate the abuse of drugs and narcotics, human trafficking... they have to be firm
  • 2:28 - 2:31
    and exterminate all corruption at its roots
  • 2:32 - 2:33
    Aisyah - Student
  • 2:33 - 2:37
    To the elected president, I hope that
  • 2:37 - 2:42
    my province, Riau, will be free from forest burning and smoke from it so we won't suffer like this every year
  • 2:43 - 2:44
    Young people are like fire
  • 2:45 - 2:48
    If there is no channel for them, they will burn every where
  • 2:50 - 2:56
    And once again, to the elected president, he should apply democracy
  • 2:57 - 3:01
    So that the future generation will know what real democracy is
