Ali Ahmed Interview Questions

I took a trip around the corner (literally) to local poling station to get a layout of the land. It was surprising active. Supporters grouped together ready to make their way to pick new representatives. I thought people were relatively knowledgeable. I have been seeing picket flags on lawns saying vote Karen Brown and others for a while now. So, after a couple ignoring attempts I got an interview.

My somewhat word for word records:

Greetings and Salutations*

1.What motivated you to come out and vote?
"I work for the city so I know how much these elections matter. I need to vote or I won't make a difference."
(everyone sounds amazing when they know its being recorded)

2.What would you like to see changed in our politcal system?
"In general?"
No, locally.
I think it is pretty solid. Although I think the national elections should be more transparent.

3. How often do you vote in elections?
"When I can find a reason. This time around I think I should vote because there are people that that could make change."

4.Do you know why we vote on Tuesday?
"Not really."
(Me being smart with my previous research)
"Because back in the day, people needed to vote before Wednesday which was the market day. This gave them time to travel"
"Sounds Primitive"
(Ya I know right) awkward*

5.What changes do you expect from these elections? What are you hoping for?
"I hope to see more work. I know a lot of people out of work and I hope my vote makes a difference."

Goodbyes and Thank you's*
