APRIL 18 — India voted last week. There are no winners, yet. Because Indian voters click their ballots today and for another five rounds till May.
Narendra Modi and Joko Widodo seek to stave off the pretenders in the form of Rahul Gandhi and Prabowo Subianto. Those are struggles between juggernauts. India relies on 919,000 polling stations with 3.6 million electronic voting machines, supported by 17 million staff members. Indonesia’s 800,000 polling stations depend on six million staff members.
The size and geographical distances are rife for misinformation. Not enough homage can be paid to both nations’ election commissions.One usual refrain among circles of anti-democrats — read the former regime and many in the present government — is that elections should be rarer because they cost money. More so if they are allegedly cosmetic local elections.
Democracy is essential for nations to grow. Elections sustain the democratic spirit and conviction among its people by reminding them that they are dictate terms. Malaysia’s Election Commission has fudged this and the new chief Art Harun has a mountain to climb to imbue in the service a sense of higher calling. Scolding, shouting and threats will not shift institutionalised beliefs that elections are about how to win them for the government of the day.
The overriding principle? Every Indian has the right to vote. Unlike in Malaysia where interior voters have to trek or navigate up or downstream to voting stations. They have to rush since they are only open for four hours, since it is dangerous to transport the ballot boxes too close to dark.
