Become a QuickCounter


Yesterday, the Governor election has committed in my province, east Java province. And in this part, I got an assignment to become a quick counter by Indonesian Research Foundation or Lembaga Survei Indonesia (LSI).
Quick Counter is a someone who become a part of a quick count activity to help the election process in order to can perform well and faster. All of the 400 member quick counter were disseminated over the east Java Province to control election places in some area. Majority of them is a student who study in a social political faculty.
I worked in the Kemuningsari Kidul village, in Jenggawah area. It such a remove area in a Jember city, which is lack of transportation and public services. But I quite satisfied because I did not located in out of my town, cause it make me confuse to looking for the area.
I enjoy this experience...

Hi Niar, I ever lived in Surabaya city, East Java province, for 2 years. At that time its governor was Mr. Basofi Sudirman. The Surabaya city climate quite hot.

Hi Niar, this post really took me back.

In Australia we have electoral officials who are responsible for the count. This includes a lot of people hired for the day. Then we have people from the political parties called scrutineers who are responsible on behalf of their party for watching the count to ensure that it is fair and who also provide advice to the parties on progress and results.

I have been both an electoral official and a scrutineer. I really loved election day. In fact, I still do!

Thank, too, for giving me an idea for a post, a description of what it is like on elections day.

Thank you Niar for your very fast response via a comment on my blog - http://belshaw.blogspot.com/.

I would add just this. From time to time you will find people in the blogging world who are rude and cruel. You will find many more, and I think that you have already seen this,who are quite wonderful.

On a separate issue, I am starting to feel a real need to learn Bahasa! My daughters have done a little, me none. I have to learn enough to at least understand some of the comments.
