01:09 It's very convenient. There are no elevators in the schools.
01:12 Number one, number two, we can enter the malls conveniently because it's cold.
01:18 The space is spacious.
01:21 At the same time, you know that the voters and watchers are secure.
01:26 If you put them there, they won't see who the voters are voting for.
01:32 The location of the malls as voting and counting centers is based on non-frill.
01:37 But they have recommendations that can help organize the voting and counting in the malls.
01:45 For example, they can put a flowchart from registration to the voting results.

02:04 They will answer all the questions related to the malls.
