Election shocker

National election day in the Philippines. You go to your designated voting precinct. Look for your name on the list of registered voters. Then line up to get your ballot.The election officers and volunteers help you. You get your ballot then go to a desk where there's a pen and a list of candidates.You fill up your ballot and then see your dad's name in the list of candidates for congressman. What the?!?!?!?!Your mom and sister are in shock as well and of course you vote for your dad. You walk back as if you just woke up from a dream to the election officers and submit your ballot. They slide it in the ballot box.
Meanwhile you get your finger marked. And you place your thumbmark on their voters' checklist.That's it: you've just exercised your right to vote. Not too much effort, right. And it's one of the greatest indicators of a sound democracy.
