Hello everybody!
why is it important to vote?
I believe that it is very
important to vote because historically it was difficult for us to achieve a
universal vote, such as women, who were only able to vote in 1934 in municipal
elections and in 1949 in parliamentary and presidential elections. This was
also the case with blind and illiterate people, since they were only able to
participate in elections in the late 1960s.
In this sense, voting represents
the main mechanism of citizen participation in the political sphere not only in
Chile, but also in all the countries of the world. In addition, it is a way of
granting greater legitimacy to the candidate who is elected. Since, it is not
the same to be elected president with 3 million votes than with 7 million
votes.
Finally, it is a way of
expressing our thoughts, ideas, values and opinions. As well as, it is an
exclusive and periodic opportunity to generate the changes that we ourselves
want to see in our respective communes and in our country.
I find the information on the vote of the blind and illiterate very interesting since I had no knowledge of it, it seems to me that you have to take advantage of something that (a long time ago) cost to achieve and as you said, it is so important.
ResponderEliminarHello Vicho! I agree with you, voting is a right that must be done in a conscious and informed way. Finally, I wanted to say that I was pleased that they included the key dates and data that shaped the political history of the vote.
