Overview of the election
Days before the election, the atmosphere of preparation had already become vibrant across the campus.

Sharing their experience of voting for the first time, many students said they felt more mature as they exercised their rights and responsibilities as citizens. Personally, selecting representatives who would reflect the will and aspirations of the people made them more aware of their own responsibility toward the country’s overall development.
