Later of the change that Chile lived with the implementation of the voluntary vote, everyone is hoping that polls were full. However, the abstinence achieved the 60%! I read in the social networks that "If the vote would change something, this would be prohibited", but I think that is a radical point of view. Always will be indispensable that the citizenship express their civic thought. I live in Estación Central and the two main candidates for became mayor were Rodrigo Delgado (UDI) and Camilo Ballesteros (PC). I have lived in Estación Central since 1998 and I know Rodrigo Delgado because he was mayor in the period 2008-2012 and he doesn't bad his job, but Camilo had the possibility of enter in the policy (In the election for mayor - 28/10/12, he achieved the 47,14% of the votes against the 48,55% of the Rodrigo's votes. It means that Camilo, like a youth representative of the citizenship of Estación Central, started very well in the policy. I vote for first time in a school of Estación Central and the process was very short. There is some that I didn´t like, and it were the paper and pamphlets (All of candidates) and the blurb maliciously for part of Rodrigo Delgado (In my commune). The last dislike was a reason for not vote to Rodrigo Delgado.
I hope that in the next elections vote more people than this year!
