EPISODE 4. Time to vote!
Carla: Hello friends
Here we have a little timeline about Ecuador, America and the World
It is showing us what was happening
And here is the Spanish period
The story of Ecuador, the history of this land is very hard and full of events
At first tribes were living there.
And they were fighting with each other
Incas came to that places only in the middle of XV century
After 70 years of their ruling the Spanish came
And they conquered the land
That was a large territory including Ecuador and Peru
Spanish conquered it all and they were ruling from Spain
We had a vice royalty and country was under control
Then we go through the process of independence
Whole Latin America
Venezuela, Argentina, Colombia
Our revolution. We kicked out the Spanish
And after this we are going to the time of revolutions in all Latin America
It was a big process
Cuba is getting free here
And then we had military dictatorships
And only in 1980-s we became democratic countries
In the beginning of XIX century rebels in Quito decided to displace Spanish
And the whole revolution began in Latin America
Cuba, for example, was one of the last countries getting independence
In the end of XIX century
Then the time for dictators came
They were taking the power in every country
Ruling for some period of time.
And in Ecuador it was the same
Country was very corrupted
People were kicking out one president after another
The situation stayed the same during whole XX century
For example, in Chile we had one of the biggest dictators ever - Pinochet
Most of you know about him probably
A lot of people died during their ruling
And also, Ecuador had two wars with Peru
It was in 1942. And they lost their territory
The way to democracy was very hard. And it wasn't easy for the country to
And the whole Latin America, I think, to developed this political system when everyone can vote
[written on picture] *Democracy: Two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner 0:03:20.501,0:03:23.110 [written on picture] *Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote
Democracy is a part of our life.
So now we have a special episode dedicated to it
I am going to vote now, the government decided to ask seven questions so the people can decide what they want
The president asks the whole nation to go to vote, they wanted to change the constitution and answer 7 questions
Seven "yes" or "no". The questions were dedicated to some problems for example
Ecological problems related to oil, to mining, also children's abuse, corruption
In this case I was one of the citizens that needed to vote because is mandatory in our country, it was kind of a duty for me
As we see we have a school, here we put tables for people to come and vote
During the whole day from 7 am until 5 pm.
Here youã see it is early, 8 am and a lot of people coming here. Let's vote! 0:04:42.100,0:04:47.030 As you probably know in March we had election in Russia. We were voting for president
And I found out that there are a lot of similar things between our elections
Really? Like what?
In both countries people go to elections in schools
Yes, that is right
In Russia we are going to the Gym and there we are taking the paper and voting, all the people.
Everyone is voting in one place. In Ecuador?
No, in Ecuador we have the election in the school but every classroom has a different amount of people that needs to go
According to the last name and also gender. Female and male according to the list they can see where to go to vote
They are voting different? like in the toilets, man and women
Yes, like in toilets! Men, women separate!
We do not mix. No toilets for both of them.
For you to know where to go you need to take a look at this information chart
Here you have a number of the table and you have the gender either if female or male and then you see last names.
It is going from this last name to this other in alphabetical order
Every time we vote for anything, it could be for president, mayor
they give us a certificate of assistance because it is mandatory
This little paper will allow you to do any kind of process, it is the kind of documentation that you need
For example, we have ID and Ià you want to go to the bank and ask for something you will need ID and this certificate
It is very important, you cannot lose it
In my case I needed to take a new one because I was out of the country and I missed some elections
I also had a penalty because I did not assist but if you are out of your country you can also vote in any embassy
I am ready with my ID and this is the document of the last election
I am going out to find my name and vote
So, in Ecuador everyone needs to go to election? You cannot just sit home and drink beer and not to go
No, and we cannot definitely drink
Because we have a law that we call it "Ley Seca", It is like "Dry law"
And actually, you cannot drink 48 hours before election
Because you need to be like, sober, for making these kind of decisions, it is really important
And yes, it is mandatory, you cannot miss it.
Latina and Russian are traveling with Caraval Travel
Here are the boxes where we put the votes either is for president or mayor
we go to the place they assigned you according where you live and take the paper, we vote, fold it and put it here
This is a metallic one, it is very old, and this is from last year 2017. It is pretty new.
It is a petty but we cannot film inside this place for voting, it is prohibited. But we will tell you what was there
I was inside and we first sign a document of your assistance and then they give you this big paper.
It was about this big, really big.
With two options. "Yes" or "No"
Every question with every article of the constitution. How It is and how It is going to be
And that was it! You needed to put "Yes" or "No", whatever you decided, folded and put in the urn
That was it! And then they give you the paper, this certificate that you voted
Another one! They are taking the old one
Yes, they are taking the old one and giving you a new one, so this new one is going to work from now on until next election
So that was the process
So, they gave me a paper, a big one with the seven questions and in the backwards the changes in the constitution
After it, it put already my vote and I got the new paper that is the certificate that I voted here
