Indonesian Presidential Election

In this special occasion that held every 5 years - Presidential Election, we the Indonesian crew members in Ms. Volendam also has to use our vote. The Ballots, the voters list, pens, the guideline to vote, and the voters forms had delivered by Consulate General of Indonesian in Vancouver BC on July 1st and kept by the Human Resources Officer. The casting of the ballots was on the ship's discretion but had to be returned to the Consulate General on July 8th when Volendam docked again in Vancouver.
So on July 5th, due to most of the crew members' free time, the casting of the ballots started from 09:00am - 12:00nn and 01:30pm - 02:30pm in crew mess room. The voter one by one had to fill up the voter's form before filling the ballot. This voter's form indicated that the voter himself had used his vote. It's a successful event in Volendam.
