We had no difficulty in casting ballots as the rules on how to vote had been instructed to us before. I hope successful candidates try their best and know how to listen to their people’s thoughts and feelings. Afterwards, they will propose effective plans to the central and provincial governments to untie difficulties and bring a better life to people.”

Following Mrs. Yă Líp was Mr. Y Som Kbuôr’s family of 6. They asked each other which candidates they had eliminated with their vote. “We find that the election took place in a strict atmosphere. Before Election Day, election staff were friendly to give us careful instructions of the rules on how to vote. I would have been on the farm this morning but because of the election, I decided to reschedule my work there. Each member of my family was determined to go to the polling station to cast a vote. Not until the ballot is cast in the box will each member go home because this is a five-year occasion.” Y Sơm said.
