"The decision to hold the legislative and presidential elections simultaneously was criticized by observers as it was deemed too complicated—manual tabulation of votes at polling stations lasted until the day after the election itself. Exhaustion and fatigue caused by the long hours resulted in at least 225 election officers dying during the voting or in the ensuing vote counts, in addition to 1,470 falling ill. Vice President Jusuf Kalla has called for the 2024 election to return to the 2014 format of separated legislative and presidential votes. The 2024 election, under the existing regulations, would be a vote on all elected legislative and executive posts in the country."

This is what we did today after we voted.
I took Nate with me to the vote.
We stood in line and I felt powerful.
I felt like we could make a difference -- him and I.
As we stood in line, he kept asking,
"Where's Obama, mama?"
"Where's Barack?"
People looked over and smiled.
I felt a connection with my fellow Americans...
regardless of party.
I felt a connection which involves being a part of such an important and meaningful process.
Involving my opinion.
My choice.
As I stood behind the white cardboard booth, scribbling inside the lines of my little Democratic circles, I looked down at my son and almost cried.
He wanted to help me.
I told him he could help me push the ballot into the box and after I completed the ballot, I slid it into the manilla folder and handed it to him.
We stood in the ballot line and he asked about Obama again.
We reached the front of the line and as I handed him the ballot and tried to explain to him how to slide it into the scanning system,
I couldn't get the words out.
Knowing that if I were to provide him with instruction, that I would've started to cry.
I took a deep breath.
All I could get out was, "Push it in , sweetie."
And, he did.
And then, I teared up, thanked the volunteers and walked over to the African American woman handing out the "I Voted." stickers.
I looked at her with a secret smile...
her doing the same.
She gave me and Nate a sticker and just kept smiling.
A knowing smile.
A smiles that says, a new day has come.
I walked out knowing that she was right.
Today is a new day.
Tomorrow even moreso.
I felt so much pride to have my son join me on what I know will be one of the most historical days of my (and his) lifetime.

After I voted today, I drove around looking for something to sketch to represent the election and serendipitously encountered a candidate who was standing on a street corner holding a sign.
As well as voting in nationally watched races for senator and governor, the residents of DeKalb County Commission District 1 are electing a commissioner to replace the former office holder, who resigned after pleading guilty to federal fraud charges for misuse of her county credit card.
I enjoyed meeting, sketching, and talking with Mr. Danese, who struck me as a practical and good-humored man with an excellent knowledge of county politics.

Evidently a card handed out on behalf of a candidate for Iraq's 2009 provincial elections. Pardon poor quality; this is photographed from the TV (Democracy Now! on Link TV, 3 Feb., 2009).

Public campaigning ends in Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and Kerala -
A total of 2.61 crore people in Kerala are eligible to caste their vote to elect the lawmakers in the assembly out of 1,203 candidates, including 109 women.
below, selling-stolen-bike season continues year round. I like the way the election districts (ridings) have names, rather than numbers, although the ratio of elected officials to citizens seems rather high -- the city and each of the many boroughs (wards, arrondisements) have councils and mayors.
Election signs in the city are designed -- size, color, imagery, etc. -- for pedestrians to notice, whereas their counterparts in the States are designed for drivers. It's like comparing Christmas windows at Marshall Field's to McDonald's signs along the Interstate.
During an unscheduled stop (engine trouble) between one town and another in the Philippines and sat and watched the life of ordinary village Filipinos going about their everyday business. Quite a lot of the time not a lot is going on!
This was photographed during the run-up to local and national elections. Election posters were appearing everywhere – and many of the posted are asking the people to vote for candidates with some strange names. I just liked the juxtaposition between this man relaxing and the name on the poster above, combined with other advertising posters.
