MEDAN - Millennial voters are said to be the axis of political power in Indonesia so that their participation is needed in the regional elections. Millennials are asked to vote in the Medan Regional Head Election on December 9.

"Many millennials are apathetic and do not care about the political process, even though the slightest policy in their lives is determined by the political process in which concretely all policies are executed by the executive, in this case the regent / mayor. So whether or not the policy execution is determined by the figure of the leader, in this case the mayor or regent, it is a huge loss if millennials are apathetic, especially if those who are not pro-people are the leaders, "said Meryl Rouli Saragih, a member of the PDI-P Faction of the DPRD of North Sumatra, Meryl Rouli Saragih. written, Friday, November 13.

If millennials do not use their voting rights, it is the same as wasting political rights and missing the best opportunity to elect the best regional head. Because of that, Meryl asked young people to use their right to vote to determine regional heads who work according to the aspirations of the community to improve education, health, infrastructure and other public services.

Meryl also asked voters not to be afraid of going to polling stations because of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is confirmed that the voting procedure on December 9 will apply health protocols.

"There is no reason to be afraid to come to the polling station because everything has been arranged to avoid unwanted things," added Meryl.

If they do not vote, the community cannot determine the best regional head. The right to complain is difficult to follow up.

"Third, by not choosing, we allow the wrong person to lead," he explained.

"There are also many young people who are now advancing as regional heads and choosing politics as a regional head candidate as a path of service. We must support, one of which is in Medan Bobby-Aulia, "said Meryl.

Meryl explained that it has been more than one month to socialize candidate pair number two in the Medan Regional Election, Bobby Nasution-Aulia Rachman. Meryl will ensure that Meryl's programs are pro-people and will manage the city budget with a transparent and accountable principle.
