Am I voting?

Someone asked me this morning if I am voting.

Yes, I am.
Even if it doesn't matter.

Reasons:
It is an opportunity. Not a threat (I suppose)
I am still Burmese. And I do care about my country.
To repeat our voice. (Last time we did the same in 1990).
I believe in "kindness" and "dignity".
I believe in giving second chance to wrong-doing people.
We have hope.
Last but not least, I think they had enough.

However, if two times fooled, shame on us.


In case you are wondering
Voting is a method for a group such as a meeting or an electorate to make a decision or express an opinion — often following discussions, debates or election campaigns.



Process of voting
Most forms of democracy discern the will of the people by a common voting procedure:
Individual voter registration and qualification,
Opening the Election for a set time period,
Registration of voters at established voting locations,
Distribution of ballots with preset candidates, issues, and choices (including the write-in option in some cases),
Selection of preferred choices (often in secret, called a secret ballot),
Secure collection of ballots for unbiased counting, and
Proclamation of the will of the voters as the will of the people for their government.

Reasons for voting
In a democracy, voting commonly implies election, i.e. a way for an electorate to select among candidates for office. In politics voting is the method by which the electorate of a democracy appoints representatives in its government.
A vote, is an individual's act of voting, by which he or she express support or preference for a certain motion (e.g. a proposed resolution), a certain candidate, or a certain selection of candidates. A secret ballot, the standard way to protect voters' political privacy, generally takes place at a polling station.
