MIDTERM ACTIVITY 2

First and foremost voting is a fundamental process in a democratic system. It is a

chance for the citizens of a country to have a say in the people who represent them or
an issue that impacts them. Informed voting and participating in elections is one of the
responsibilities of citizens.
An eligible citizen registers to vote, studies the candidates and issues, looks up
their polling location, then casts their ballot during the election. In order to win the polls
and assume the much converted seat in the political arena, a candidate must be able to
persuade the voters that their names are worthy to be written in the ballot and that being
elected can bring forth the change that most voters want from the political leader. 
As a political candidate in order to persuade or to win the hearts of voters you
need to make a platforms that they need and to solve the problems that we are
encountered right now and also as a voters we need to choose a leader or political
candidate who determined to help us and not only "puro lang salita wala naman gawa"
because that’s the problem of some candidate once they achieve what they want all the
promises that they say during campaign its forgotten. 
Now election day is coming we should vote wisely and choose the leader or
political candidate who suits in that position and for me it’s my first time to vote. Voters
also judge candidates by their personal characteristics. Included among the relevant
characteristics are such things as the experience, honesty, morality, compassion,
competence, and leadership ability of the candidates.
Apart from how they see the candidates on the issues, voters form images of the
personal qualities and abilities of the candidates, and these perceptions are important
influences on the vote. One important aspect of personal character is the perceived
honesty and trustworthiness of the candidates what might be termed an integrity
dimension. We choose the presidential candidate who have a concrete plan and have a
clean record also have a strong vision for the country.
