[The voting process] was much smoother than we expected and it was done with less resources. |
Also, it is the second election, so people are more confident in the process. There were some problems in January which we fixed this time around. |
That's going to boost numbers. |
We are electing a permanent government, so more people will be interested. |
We're hoping it's going to be considerably more than that. But the main thing to remember . . . is it's not the actual number that's critical. It's the importance of these people's voices being heard. |
We're hoping that will compensate for a lot. We have been working nonstop. The staff are ready to go. The [polling] centers are ready to absorb anything. We've completely geared ourselves up, and we're ready for a robust turnout. |
