In the 2014 legislative elections, this is my second time to vote. I am proud to use my voting rights as Indonesian citizens. Although sometimes I choose not to win but I have carried out my duty as a citizen of Indonesia. In elections that will be held on July 9, 2014, I will use my voting rights in the election. Even more so in the general election is Indonesian presidential election period 2014-2019, which is the fate of the Indonesian state during the next 5 years. Therefore I will use my voting rights. One vote determines the future of Indonesia. I also remind all citizens of Indonesia, use your voting rights!
