Colombia is a third world democratic country and a state with decentralized government , this means that all eligible citizens , over the age of 18 , have the right to participate either directly or indirectly in a decision that affects all the citizens of the country. The Colombian political system is based on the political constitution of 1991.
The Colombian constitution states that the country is a social state , a unitary and decentralized republic with partial autonomy of regional authorities that are based on participative and pluralist democracy. The Colombian government has three branches executive , legislative and judicial. The leader of these political order is the president , the government consists of 13 ministers . Each department has it’s own governor. The government has members of the conservative party , liberal party and any other political party that is functioning in that moment. The Congress of Colombia is composed of the Senate and The House of Representatives that consist of eight standing committees. The House of Representatives has one hundred sixty two members and the Senate has one hundred two members. All the members of these political orders are chosen by the people , the citizens of the country with a political election. A political election is the formal process of accepting or rejecting a political proposition by voting. The election process in Colombia to choose a president is held every four years , same as the congressional election that happen two or three month prior the presidential elections. In order to vote you have to be eighteen or older , before you had to register yourself at the municipal level , and the would choose where do you have to vote , depending on your identification number , now is way easier because people can choose a please near by them , register and vote in that place they chose. Voting is an obligation as a citizen but a lot of people chose not to vote , some because they do not like the candidates , and others because they simply do not care , but even if they do not like the candidates or do not care , they should go and vote blank , because that way you are doing the right thing and obeying to your obligation as a citizen , because even Colombian citizens that are not living in Colombia haver there own registry in which ever country they are living and vote. I think that the key to voting is having your own personal opinion of each candidate , and chose whoever you like best and think would do right to your own country.
This year political election for presidency were , in my opinion totally not right and they were not fair , is not possible that a place where you are voting for something as important as is choosing a new president , choosing the faith of your country , deciding how your life is going to change and what improvements or how many bad things is a person about to do with your country , runs out of voting cards for one very important candidate , and there are just voting cards for the other candidate that the majority of Colombian citizens do not want or like , that is not righting that is just an act of corruption , imagine how the people feel because they haven’t even stared with there ruling , but are already making public acts of corruption , that is simply not right. Electing some to rule your country should be something that you do on your own, it should be something honest , it should not be something corrupt , you should chose someone , because you would like that person as your ruler not because your vote has been bought. You should do what is better for you and the destiny of your country.
