Tibetan elections and voting






There were no teachings today since it was election day. Tibetans living in exile voted for a new parliament and decide on the next Tibetan "prime minister".
The polling to elect 43 members of the Tibetan 'parliament', not recognised by any country, was held at 53 polling stations across India, Nepal, Bhutan, Europe and North America. I think there were 80 some candidates. Campaigning was mostly done with fliers and posters.
