Cash and carry Election
I never liked politics. For years, I kept away from all the political talk, happy to watch from afar off as others took part in voting. The news of violence at voting centers, ballots snatching, and votes buying seemed far off tales that hit others, not me.
That changed last week Saturday when I went to vote in our area's senate election. What I saw changed how I see our voting system and broke my view of it all.
I went to the voting center with one goal: to observe and vote for the best candidate between the two contestants. I see my political neutrality as a mark of my clean stand. But soon after I got there, the truth hit hard.
The ruling party had no doubts, turning the place of voting into a business center. Paying for votes was not hidden. It was out in the open, set like a fixed show.
Police being there added to my shock. They did not stop the wrong acts; they helped them. They kept watch as votes were bought, their uniform making it all seem fine.
The way of this "cash and carry" vote was very straight. Voters came, did their part, and left with money. The ruling party had turned the place into their own shop, using money to silence anyone who stood up to them.
The opposition had no chance. Their true worth and plans meant nothing where people are face to face with quick money. The ruling party’s goal was clear - use money to keep their hold, not caring about the harm to voting values.
Seeing people trade their votes for quick cash made me very sad. But the truth is that poverty makes such choices understandable. When you needs are unmet, democracy practice come second to survival. The ruling party used this venerability so well, using economic hardship as a tool for political gain.
The experience stripped away any remaining political innocence. The news I used to read was mild - it did not show the depth of our cracked voting system. The buying of votes, the police in on it, and the exploitation of economic vulnerability show a dark look at our democracy.
This is not just about one senate seat or one by-election. It goes much deeper, hitting the core of our voting system. When votes are for sale and poverty pushes people to give up their voice, we lose more than an election, we lose our shared future.
Staying out now seems more like being part of the problem. By keeping quiet, we let these acts grow. Our quietness gives a nod for the bad state of our voting ways to keep going.
Seeing how our democracy fails under money changed how I see things. We need more than just being neutral, we need to talk and stand against these acts.
The experience changed me from a far watcher to a close witness of vote corruption. The buying of votes, backed by those who should stop it, shows how deep the bad goes in our system. We don't have to remain neutral, we must wake up to the true cost of staying quiet in the face of fading democracy.
