Blackstone Code Chapter 1484: Finished
Early in the morning, people lined up to the polling window to show their ID.
Because of Lemar's direct presidential election system, the voters' interference with the birth of the president is very direct, so in order to avoid the disadvantages of various elections, such as repeated voting, etc.
They handed out something like a voting card to every adult Lemar.
This thing is about the size of three ordinary business cards, with basic voter information on it, and a form.
Each cell in the table represents the process of performing an election vote. If the voter has voted, this cell will be punched with a hole, indicating that the voter has exercised his vote in this election. Rights and obligations.
If not, then their submitted ballots are encapsulated with the cut-out holes.
Because these voter cards are specially made, they use currency-like printing and anti-counterfeiting, and the patterns are extremely complex. It can be said that the pattern of each voter card is almost unique, and it is impossible to have two identical copies. It represents the cut hole, and the corresponding voter card is also unique.
After the direct election of the votes, basically each party will conduct random checks on these votes to ensure that their failures are not "artificial reasons".
So early in the morning, people would come to the polls with their voter cards to vote.
The number of people who participated in the voting this time was particularly large, because the federal government gave humanitarian aid materials, but the right to use these materials was not delegated to the current ruling party of the Lemar government, that is, the Democratic Party.
WDC Humanitarian Aid is a neutral charitable organization under the World Development Council. They are responsible for the distribution of humanitarian aid.
Given some of the things that are going on right now, after a brief consultation, the humanitarian organization has set up a platform to distribute supplies next to the voting window.
Each voter can get a piece of material assistance from here by virtue of their voter card that has not been cut and punched before voting.
Includes ten dollars worth of medicines and medical materials, such as gauze.
A ten-dollar compressed food package contains enough food to maintain an adult's nutritional needs for a week.
It's worth noting that this is just nutrition, not that it will keep an adult full for a week.
There are also personal cleaning supplies, soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and insecticides, as well as some clothing.
In general, these things are worth about 30 yuan, which does not seem to be very expensive, but to the Lemar people at this time, it is especially precious!
This has also won the favor of many Lemar people. When Pontiero's diplomatic ambassador saw those things, he realized that in this matter, they were not as good as the federal people.
Pentio are arrogant and arrogant, they have conquered challenger after challenger, and even if they were beaten by the Gefras in the last world war, they didn't think it was a loss.
Because the Gevra dared not even land, they only dared to attack Pongio's merchant ships in the coastal areas, and bombed coastal cities.
If it weren't for some trade issues, the Pengios probably wouldn't have ended the war.
For them, this is only a short-term failure. As long as they get in touch with the mainland of Gafra, even if only one legion is landed, it is enough to slaughter the entire Gafra!
This confidence in historical victories eventually turned into arrogance, and within the Empire, many did not think the Lemar Islands would be a key geographic location for influencing the war.
They think that what can really affect the direction of the war is still on the southern continental plate.
It can be used as a springboard, whether it is to jump across the Channel to attack the Federation, or to get to Gavra from the port further west, it is extremely convenient.
And these places are not too far apart. For example, the Upper Strait, where the two continental plates are closest, only takes two days to cross.
This also means that they can send large numbers of soldiers to the Confederate South to land in less time and with less risk!
Compared to these, an island archipelago in the middle of the Eastern Ocean is actually less important to the Pongio Empire's strategic intentions for the next war.
The reason they want to take the Lemar Islands is purely defensive. With this area, there is no need to worry about the Federals directly attacking their coastal cities, and they do not need to deploy a large number of coastal artillery in coastal cities.
If they really got the archipelago, they wouldn't rashly head westward. In the hearts of the Pengios, the oceans that were too wide were actually quite frightening.
They don't have any advantage in battleships, they don't want to fight at sea!
Anyway, they are now many steps behind the Federation, and Pengio's diplomatic ambassador has given up hope for the outcome of this election.
On May 9, the week-long voting ended, and all ballots were sent to the central island for counting.
Radio stations, TV stations, all the media are following the reports.
People stand by TVs and radios, waiting in silence.
Perhaps only after experiencing darkness can people expect light.
The whole counting time lasted for four days. On May 13, the result finally came. The chairman of the Liberal Party became the new president of the Republic of Lemar with a slight lead of less than 3%. .
Small countries don't have so many rules, the chairman of the party committee is his party position and has nothing to do with his president's job.
The Democratic Party requires random checks of votes. Of course, this is also the practice of every election. The losers always hope that their failures are not because they are inferior to others~IndoMTL.com~ After two days of random checks, they did not find any problems. In the end, he could only reluctantly admit the result.
Immediately, Lemar's election results were sent by wireless telegram to the combined fleet that had not gone far.
The news quickly spread around the world.
The Pontgio Empire regretted the election results and withdrew all diplomatic envoys.
The President of the Federation expressed his affirmation, affirmed Lemar's performance in terms of freedom and..., and was willing to actively promote the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Federation and Lemar, and once again invited the Republic of Lemar to join the World Development Committee and contribute to the maintenance of world peace part of one's own strength.
The newly elected President of the Republic of Lemar enthusiastically responded to the invitation of the federal government and expressed his great honor to do so!
Everything is developing in a positive direction...
At the end of May, the federal mission came to the Lemar Islands with a large number of supplies and orders, as well as some soldiers...
