Election in Oman and the US

   The election concept is reinforced by our religion Islam. Because, it is the people right to choose who rules them.  But in my country it has a monarchy government where the president inherit the presidency form his father. But this system was not always the dominant system. But for the last forty years we have the same president.
   But we have only one election for the Shura Council. This council has representatives from every city according to the population. And they are elected by the people for 4 years but the possibility to renew the term. The representative job is to present the citizens problems and concerns.  But in America there are many elections like the presidential election and the congress elections. And it is considered as a important part of this country.   
   The way they are elected is almost the same as here where people go to polling stations with some sort of identity. Then they need to fill in some forms. Although there is always campaign before the Election Day, It is not as big as here. Beside, the election age is different. In America people can vote when there are 18 years old. But in my country you need to be 21 to vote.

  3. Thailand used to be ruled by a monarchy system, too. I think I like it because people seem to be faithful to their king.
