Referendum

Today Mamma and Vecmamma had to go to the local school, which was designated as the voting location in a country-wide referendum. Latvian people were voting, if they would want their current parliament to be dismissed or not. Now, we know the results already - 95% of voters said that they want the parliament to be gone. So in September, Latvians will have new elections.
Hafsa had the chance to go along with Mamma and Vecmamma to see how the voting is happening. First, Mamma had to register with her passport number and signature, after what she received the ballot paper. Hafsa then went together with mamma into the voting cabin, where Mamma marked on the ballot her choice. Then they both went to the voting box, into which Hafsa was allowed to deposit the vote of both Mamma and Vecmamma.
Uzair could not come this time, as he was not feeling well - he had an allergy attack from petting one of local cats. It was a really furry one!
In the picture below, you can see the school, where Mamma was styding, when she was small. This was the place designated for voting.
