Et: Värvilised vahtralehed kaunistasid Tallinna valimisjaoskonna sissepääsu.
En: Colorful vahtralehed adorned the entrance of the Tallinna polling station.
Et: Oli hingedeaeg, aeg, mil inimesed meenutavad esivanemaid.
En: It was the time of souls, a time when people remember their ancestors.
Et: Kuid valimisjaoskonnas on oodata hoopis midagi muud.
En: However, something quite different was expected at the polling station.
Et: See oli valimispäeva ettevalmistus, täis ärevust ja lootust.
En: It was the preparation for election day, full of anxiety and hope.
Et: Õhus võis tunda sügise kargust, samal ajal kui sees käis vilgas sebimine.
En: The crispness of autumn could be felt in the air, while inside there was bustling activity.
Et: Kalev seisis jaoskonna ees, silmad täidetud kindla eesmärgiga.
En: Kalev stood in front of the station, eyes filled with a clear purpose.
Et: Ta oli valmis andma endast kõik, et valimine oleks sujuv ja õiglane.
En: He was ready to give his all to ensure the election would be smooth and fair.
Et: Lisaks oli Aino, noor entusiastlik vabatahtlik, kes soovib paremini mõista oma kohta kodanikukohustuses.
En: Alongside him was Aino, a young enthusiastic volunteer eager to better understand her role in civic duty.
Et: Maarika, kogenud valija, jälgis toimuvaid muutusi tähelepanelikult, muretsedes uute valimisseaduste pärast.
En: Maarika, an experienced voter, watched the unfolding changes attentively, concerned about the new election laws.
Et: Sellest päevast pidi saama midagi erilist.
En: This day was meant to be something special.
Et: Kõik aga ei läinud plaanipäraselt.
En: But not everything went according to plan.
Et: Mõned tehnikaprobleemid ähvardasid kogu ettevalmistust viivitada.
En: Some technical problems threatened to delay the entire preparation.
Et: Kalev hingas sügavalt sisse.
En: Kalev took a deep breath.
Et: Ta teadis, et peab leidma lahenduse.
En: He knew he needed to find a solution.
Et: Ta kutsus kokku kõik vabatahtlikud, sealhulgas Aino, ja jagas ülesandeid.
En: He gathered all the volunteers, including Aino, and assigned tasks.
Et: Kalev teadis, et tuleb proovida midagi uut ja ebatraditsioonilist.
En: Kalev knew that they needed to try something new and unconventional.
Et: "Tuleviku paneme üheskoos paika," ütles Kalev vabatahtlikele naeratades.
En: “We will shape the future together,” said Kalev to the volunteers, smiling.
Et: Ta usaldas Aino vastutama ühe seadistuse osa eest, julgustades teda leidma oma tee keerulise ülesande lahendamiseks.
En: He entrusted Aino with responsibility over part of the setup, encouraging her to find her own way to solve the complex task.
Et: Aino niheles esmalt ebakindlalt, kuid tugeva ja kindla Kalevi toetus pani ta uskuma, et suudab midagi korda saata.
En: At first, Aino fidgeted uncertainly, but the strong and steady support from Kalev made her believe that she could accomplish something.
Et: Ta asus kiirelt tööle, teadmata, et varsti tuleb temal ja Kalevil koos tegutseda.
En: She quickly set to work, unaware that soon she and Kalev would have to act together.
Et: Just enne avamist tekkis uus probleem, ja nad pidid üheskoos selle lahendama.
En: Just before opening, a new problem arose, and they had to solve it together.
Et: Kell tiksus, ja kui...
