802. Gala party

To vote, you need to bring your ID card and a unified identity card sent by the government. The card contains the name and address, which is about four times the size of a famous postcard, such as an admission ticket, but the print is not the test number, but the voting location.

There was someone guarding the office lobby entrance and checking their ID cards one by one.

Qin Shiou handed the ID to the guardian official. After the man scanned the scanner, he left his ID card and gave him an unnamed election card.

The width of the election card is about the same as the width of the a4 printing paper, and the length is one and a half times that of the a4 paper. It lists several election contents. The first is the mayoral election. Qin Shiou was shocked when he saw it. He always thought that only Okever and Hamley were running for the election. It turned out that there were six people!

Winnie explained to him: "The final double strength will be decided in the first two weeks of the election. Unless a particularly powerful dark horse appears, the final double strength will be decided at the beginning, and this is Okever and Hamre."

Qin Shiou understood this way that Hamre is quite reliable in doing things. He defeated his opponent in the first round before asking him for election funds.

In addition to electing mayor, one of the city councillors in this district has to be elected. The last city councillors in this district were Hamley. There were ten candidates in this term. Some people were selected for saying goodbye to the town, and it turned out to be Shaq and Hughes.

Qin Shiou slapped his thigh and said to Winnie: "Shake also has a chance to be a city councillor? Damn, why didn't he say it earlier? Let's help him promote it."

Winnie gave him a blank look and said, "The mayor and the councillor will not come from the same community. Saying goodbye to the town is equivalent to a community. Although Shaq and Hughes have quotas, it is impossible to be elected. What's the use of publicity? Besides, are you sure Shaq can be a councillor?"

Qin Shiou thought about it and happened that Shaq came with his wife with a smile.

Looking at Shaq, whose muscles are as strong as rocks and whose temper is as irritable as thunder, Qin Shiou shook his head decisively. With Shaq's temperament, he probably would have to beat other city council members on the spot if he was frustrated in the city council.

In addition to city councillors, they also have to choose the chief magistrate of several committees such as education, finance, and agriculture. Although Qin Shiou didn't know them, he had heard of these people, so he chose several people according to his own understanding.

After making the choice, there was an Atm-style machine in the center of the hall. It had a screen and an opening. Qin Shiou walked over and put the votes at the ticket reading gate, as if he was sucking a bank card, and the votes were immediately sucked in.

Each vote has an electronic code. After entering, the relevant information will be scanned and sent to the central computer processor immediately, so that the entire process cannot be cheated.

There is one advantage of the Canadian election, which is that it is full of joy and results will be released on the same day. After ten o'clock, the election committee began to verify the results, and all six candidates were on the scene, waiting for the final result.

Half an hour later, the results were broadcast simultaneously through the Internet, TV stations, newspapers, etc.

Hamre was elected with a high vote!

St. Johns cast a total of 150,000 votes this time, and he won 120,000. Okever, who is regarded as his biggest opponent, only had more than 20,000 votes. He lost simply!

Hamley's election group prepared a LED display of more than 100 inches in the town, but after it appeared on the screen, the onlookers immediately cheered enthusiastically!

Qin Shiou hugged Winnie and looked at the TV screen. Hamre had already got the result. He sorted out his suit, shook hands with his opponents one by one with a smile, and then he immediately made a speech on his election.

Hamre's comments were very simple. He said enthusiastically: "According to statistics, the number of voters participating this year is the largest. Some people say this is an election victory because more people are beginning to enjoy their rights. However, I don't agree!"

"I firmly believe in Georg William Friedrich Hegel's famous saying: The more indifferent voters are to their suffrage, the more satisfied they are with their lives and with the ruling group! I think that only when no matter who is the mayor and the citizens' lives are equally satisfied is the victory of the election!"

"My comments end here. I won't emphasize anything. Let's take a look in the future! Look at what my team and I will do! Thank you everyone, thank you to every fellow St. Johns!"

Qin Shiou was watching Hamley pretending, but someone found him and said he was asked to host tonight's celebration dinner.

"What? There is a celebration dinner tonight? Why don't you notify me in advance?" Qin Shiou said in shock.

The person who informed him was an important member of the Hamley election group, but Qin Shiou was not very familiar with him. The man smiled and said, "Because before this moment, we didn't know who would become the mayor, so we can't be sure if there would be a celebration dinner!"

Qin Shiou laughed. Hamley had already gone to him to pass the bottom. When he invited McCorian, he was destined to be elected as Mayor of St. Johns in this term.

"Why are you looking for me? I'm not suitable?" He still felt that this kind of person who stood up was the best.

The man still smiled and said, "Apart from you, Mr. Qin Shiou, who is qualified to host such a dinner? You are the most staunch supporter of Mayor Hamley, you are the spiritual leader of the town, and you are the best host tonight!"

The people around him were attracted, and after hearing the man's words, he fisted and shouted: "Qin! Qin! Qin! Wine! Wine!"

The speaker equipment on the rostrum where the LED screen is located has been adjusted. Qin Shiou walked over and picked up the microphone, pretended to be flexible, and the cheers in the audience became less loud.

Then he said, "Okay, listen to me, guys, first check if there are any children? If you find the children, take them home immediately. The next occasion is not suitable for them to participate!"

"Look at if there are any pregnant women? Winnie, dear, you are one of them. Who can do it for me to send her home?"

"The rest, girls, protect yourself, because the rest of the time tonight will be! One! Crazy! Happy!"

"Aoao!" Everyone cheered wildly.

The Hamley Group has prepared beer and champagne. Before midnight, everyone will just drink beer and scream here before twelve o'clock.

Because it was only a result tonight, Hamre is not the official mayor, and he will hand over Okever in the next month, so after being interviewed by reporters on the spot, Hamre will rush back.

When the two mayors handed over, there was another battle between them. Okever would hand over his mess to him, and he would definitely not take over the problems left over from the Okever era.

As soon as Hamre came back, Qin Shiou, Hughes and his group shook the champagne and pointed the bottle mouth at him, and started spraying!

Now Hamre's style is completely different. He has a accompanying reporter. These press conferences record this carnival night to show to the citizens. Hamre must let go and show his kind side of the people. (To be continued...)
