Voting in US

                This is only my third month in US and I am glad that I have already witnessed the voting process in US. The election that held last Tuesday, 2 November is to vote for new senates and House of Representatives.

                The voting process in US is similar to the voting process in my country, Malaysia. I have not voted before but I heard about the voting process from my parents. Any Malaysian citizens above 21 years old must register before he or she could vote in elections. After identity verification at a voting centre that assigned according to area, each voter receives two paper ballots, one for the parliamentary seat of the constituency and another for the state assembly seat. However in US, the voters only receive one large piece of paper to vote. When the voters are done, they drop the ballots in the separate ballot boxes that count the votes, while in US there is only one ballot box.  Basically, both voting process are similar and simple.  

                I am glad to be an election observer that makes me feel like I have participated in this huge event of Americans. I am also looking forward to witness the presidential election in 2012.
