Sharmila Prasad has voted in four elections, and the one thing she always keeps in mind while casting her ballot is whether the party she chooses will provide peace.
For the 2022 General Election, the same thoughts went through her mind as she walked to the Delaitokatoka Community hall in Nasinu, to vote.
Ms Prasad was accompanied by her husband Rakesh Mani, 49, and mother-in-law Sundar Mati, 78.
She said this year’s election was an easy process.
“We came in the afternoon when it was a bit cooler because we were travelling with my mother-in-law,” the 41-year-old said.
“This year’s election was very easy. By the time we came, there was no queue so it made things a lot easier.” Ms Prasad said it was important for people to vote for whoever they thought was the right party.
“Vote according to how you want and how we want our children’s future to be. Fiji now is quite developed and it is quite peaceful so there is that understanding needed.”
