People who 'Jump-Started' Election Day: An Exciting Early Voting Scene
Surprisingly, there's a place where they've already 'jump-started' the voting process even before the official election day begins. These are the protagonists of the news titled 'Her har de «tjuvstartet» valgdagen'.
It's a story from Stokke, a small coastal village in Vestfold. Residents there, on August 10th, the first day early voting centers opened, already lined up early in the morning to cast their votes, fostering election excitement in their unique way.
The early voting center manager said, "We didn't expect so many people to come so early," and described the atmosphere as "like a festival." 🎉
One elderly resident reportedly smiled brightly, saying, "Since I'm going to vote anyway, I wanted to do it quickly and have peace of mind." Seeing scenes like these, we are once again reminded of the value of each vote.
I was truly moved by the spontaneous participation of these residents. It felt like it showed the vibrant spirit of the community, beyond just the act of voting. What do you think about this 'jump-started' election atmosphere? ✨
Record-Breaking Advance Voting, and a Vote for the 'Progress Party'
This election has seen truly historic advance voter turnout. As the title 'Rekordmange har forhåndsstemt' suggests, in the Vestfold and Telemark regions alone, over 75,000 people participated in advance voting, a 15% increase compared to the last election! 📈
This is an unprecedented high figure even across Norway, so you can imagine the intensity of the excitement, right?
Notably, one voter caught attention by proudly stating after casting their ballot, "Det ble Frp (It was the Progress Party for me)."
They explained their choice, saying they were impressed by the 'Progress Party' (Fremskrittspartiet), one of Norway's major political parties, particularly their strong immigration policies and promises of tax cuts, demonstrating a firm belief in their decision.
Of course, not all voters share the same views, but such statements allow us to glimpse the interest and expectations voters have for specific parties.
I believe that regardless of who supports which candidate, the act of voting according to one's conviction should always be respected. What criteria do you use to choose your candidates? 🤔
