With the elections coming tomorrow, many of the local people are disrupted from their normal routines. One of our drivers just left for his hometown of Battambang so he could vote tomorrow. Some shops have altered hours or are going to be closed. Schools are already closed so they can be set up as polling places and the teachers trained to run the voting process.
I've heard anectodally that the results will come in very fast even with a paper ballot. Apparently they count the results as they come in with observers from each of the 9 parties watching the process. However, I've also read that the number of registered voters in each district is typically over 100%, so there is widespread concern of ballot stuffing that might occur. Even with all this the daily parades for the major parties were jovial. Only a few traffic jams. Today it should be quiet since no campaigning is allowed.
This is a disruption to our teaching schedules, but it also offers the opportunity for us to do some work on our 501(c)(3) forms and other administrative tasks. You have to make the best of what you get and plan well to maximize your time.
