The term woman is used to identify a female human, regardless of age, as in
phrases such as "women's rights". Woman may also refer to a person's gender identity. Women with typical genetic development are usually capable of giving birth from puberty until menopause. a vote or general election is an election in which all or most members of a given political body are chosen. Indonesia is a country that has a democracy politic system. In choosing the government in our country such as: regent, governor, parliament and president, the citizens join in general election. The general election is held in one time in Indonesia even in abroad for the Indonesian who stay in abroad. But, do all the citizen of Indonesia especially for women can participate in general election? All citizen can participate in general election except the women. It is caused by many factors. Firstly, the total of woman population in Indonesia are 126.8 million. While the total of man population are 128.1 million, appropriate written by BPS in 2014. It is mean that 49.7 % of indonesian’s citizen are women. If women participate in general election, then the government will spend a lot of fund to hold an elections. For example, if the government wasting Rp. 100,000.00 each woman, then Rp. 100,000.00 x 126,800,000 = 12,680,000,000,000. So the fund which has spent for general election is too much Secondly, the women can keep giving their aspiration by her husband. They can get their right to vote by discussing with their husband about what will they choose. Beside preventing the difference opinion between wife and husband, it also make their family become more harmonious The third, there are still many isolated area in Indonesia. We need a big fund to distribute the election paper to that area. If the women not vote so it will decrease the distribution fund. Last, all government rests ultimately on force to which women and owing to physical are not capable of contributing. By reason owing physical, women shouldn’t vote to protect them from violence during the elections. Because many people exploit the weakness of a women to get a lot voting. From the reason above, we have known that there are many factors why the women shouldn’t be allowed to vote. We think that it is a good way that can give advantage for the general election specially in Indonesia.
