Guys, I know I've disappeared, but here I am back on Youtube :)
And because today is election day in Brazil, I've decided to make this video with some of the
major differences between the Brazilian presidencial election and the American
presidential election and also tell you some very
interesting facts about the electoral process in the United States. So, stay tuned!
Well, the first difference, which many of you might already know, is that while in
Brazil voting is compulsory, and if you don't vote, you have to justify your absence, and if
you don't justify it, you lose many of your rights, such the right to apply for a
passport or an ID card, for instance, in the United States, voting is
optional; you vote if you want to.
To give you an idea, the percentage of
American voters who voted in the past 5 presidential elections in the
United States varied between 50 and 60%.
In Brazil, even though voting is mandatory, an average of 80% of voters
vote in presidential elections.
In the United States, most voters
vote using paper ballots, while in Brazil,
electronic voting machines have been used for more than 20 years.
An interesting fact is that in many American states,
voters can vote by mail before the official election day.
So you receive a paper ballot at home and send it with your vote by mail
by the deadline.
And in some cases, people can even vote by email or fax.
The American astronauts who are at the International Space
Station, for instance, can vote by email since 1997.
And listen to this, guys! In some American states, if you've voted early by mail and
you change your mind later about who you want for president,
you can change your vote. That's right, you can re-vote.
As I've mentioned, many Americans vote even before the official election
day, which happens on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in
November, and it's a day like any other, so those who want to vote on election
day have to vote before or after work, or at lunchtime, or
when they have a little free time
because it's a regular working day, it's not a holiday.
And in Brazil, as you know, the election day is always on a
Sunday, which is today, by the way.
Another major difference between the two
systems is that in Brazil, there is direct voting, while in the United
States, voting is indirect. So American voters vote and, based on how
they voted, the delegates from each state directly
vote for president.
And the most controversial aspect of this indirect
system of voting is that sometimes the candidate with less popular
votes gets the majority of electoral votes and ends up winning the election,
and that's what happened in the last election between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.
Hillary ended up getting more popular votes, but Donald Trump got
the majority of the electoral votes and ended up winning the American presidential election.
I know it's a little hard to understand this indirect system, but the good news
is that I've made an entire video explaining in detail how it works.
So if you're interested in learning about this indirect voting
system, about the electoral college, I'll link the video, I'll leave a link here in the
description box and here in the cards as well for you to check out.
Well, guys, I'm really
happy to be back on Youtube. If you liked this video, if you've learned
anything new, leave a thumbs-up, share this video
with your friends and I'll see you next week.
Thank you very much
for watching. Xoxo :)
