The acquisition of a provisional vote for five candidates in the calculation, still chasing each other chasing the number.
The atmosphere was getting warmer with the voices of witnesses and supporters of each kades who spoke ‘Sah!’ full of enthusiasm at the beginning of the calculation which only a few minutes began.
It is still morning, but there are things that make swipe the chest of the timesses and witnesses in the election kades. 3 Unauthorized sounds (1 blank and 2 broken ballot cards) perched on a temporary calculation board, as if making a dirty view only.
“Mbok yo, if you do not want nyoblos in TPS, do not have to come, it is clearer!” Grunts one of the times.
“From coming to TPS? but blangko (voice letter left blank, deliberately not dicoblos)! Is it the same as not coming to TPS to?” Further
There are also residents who took two different pictures in one ballot card at a time. This causes the coblosan on the image in the sound card to be invalid in the accumulation of calculations.
About an hour before the end of the calculation of the vote, the gloomy faces of two prospective village heads (Pak Asro and mas Indra), are now starting to look. While three other candidates for kades, namely Yuli, Seno and Bakti still seem to smile, because the acquisition of their voices is still chasing each other after the waves in the ocean.
Time continued to run, in the minutes leading up to the end of the calculation of the accumulation of votes, the two candidates for village heads (Seno and Bakti), now began to fall a bit away from the accumulation of Yuli's vote.
The cheerful aura of the face of Mr. Seno and Bakti, now suddenly dim like a withered flower. Only Yuli still spread a smile, because the acquisition of Yuli's voice has excelled far enough above the acquisition of the two candidates for the kades.
The ballot card from inside the box ballot box, now only one strand and ready to be opened for the committee to read.
“People of Sumber Balong village whom I respect, this is the last election card.” Said the committee while showing the ballot box that had been empty in front of the citizens.
"Last!" Said Ustadz Nur Kholis as the election committee of kades in charge of reading the ballot.
Ustadz hand Nur Kholis, already holding the ballot card that has been opened, and…!
"Yet!!!" Ustadz Nur Kholis said as he read the ballot.
"Well!!" Witnesses were accompanied by voices from Yuli's supporters.
Instantly a joyous voice of victory from the supporters of Yuli echoed in the air.
At the end of the election count of the kades in Sumber Balong village, the faces of the supporters of Yuli were bright as a full moon.
Plastered clearly on the board, Yuli's vote is more than the number of the four rival votes.
An hour later, the results of the accumulated legal vote of 3,500 citizens who cast their votes in the TPS booth, then announced via microphone by the election committee of the cadets.
The final calculation is as follows:
1. Yuli Astuti: 1,207 votes
3. Bekti Wibowo: 965 votes
4. Sir. Asrori: 145 votes
5. Indra Deni: 103 votes
6. Broken/unauthorized votes: 30 votes
Total valid votes 3,470 votes + invalid votes 30 = 3,500 votes
“Based on the calculation of the election committee of kades witnessed by witnesses and also villagers. So the right to be the village head in Sumber Balong village for the next 6 years is Mbak Yuli with a legal vote of 1,207 votes.” said the election committee of kades.
Applause and boisterous voices from Yuli's supporters echoed again throughout Sumber Balong village.
The five aspiring kades on stage were now shaking hands with each other before they finally returned to the residence house to rest. Although they smiled but the look of shame and disappointment Mr. Seno, Bakti, Asro and Indra clearly appeared when they greeted Yuli.
“Congratulations Yuli,” said Mr. Seno, Asrori, Bakti and Indra while shaking hands with Yuli.
“Ya, thank you,” Yuli told them.
A second later, Yuli's supporters and the citizens of the community immediately surrounded Yuli to congratulate Yuli on her victory, who had been legally elected as their village head.
“Happy yes mbak Yuli,” said one by one residents while greeting Yuli.
“Yes, thank you,” Yuli replied with a smile while shaking hands with a very enthusiastic citizen congratulating her victory.
While the four rivals Yuli (Seno, Bakti, Indra and Asrori) with blue faces now step away from Yuli who has been mobbed by so many residents who congratulate him.
Ten minutes later, Yuli delivered her brief speech on stage via a loudspeaker.
“Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Westarakatuh!” Yuli.
“Waalaikumsalam Warahmatullahi Westarakatuh!” Answer all citizens in the polling station field (TPS).
Alhamdulillahi rabbil alamin wabihi nasta’inu ala agewadin wa’ala ali wasahbihi ajmain. Amma ba’du's.
