Click to play videoBhutan: The century of royal rule that ends in Bhutan on Monday.
And the Chief Election Commissioner of Bhutan, Kunzang Wangdi, has a reason to smile, as there are more women voters in the rolls, nearly 1lakh 61 thousand women compared to 1 lakh 57 thousand men.
As the country tries to change tracks and skip to the future everyone with all their tentativeness are ready for this Monday date with history.
"The signs are looking good and am happy that more women are coming forward,” says Wangdi.
Deki Palden a journalism graduate from Delhi University is one of the women voters in Bhutan.
She is happy that there are more women voters but is apprehensive about the submission to democracy.
"Even I am one of those people who wish that the king still rules but since the king has been very kind enough and wants the people to shape his own destiny. We are taking it as an opportunity and try and help the King build a new society,” says Information Bureau, Bhutan, Deki Palden.
In these changing times it's a view shared by Tshering Wangmo, an information officer with the Royal Bhutanese government.
"I am all for monarchy. When I see democracies around the world, I just hope that our case will be different,” says Wangmo.
A fear that probably comes in the minds of Bhutanese people when they think of Nepal's experiment with democracy.
Though the go and vote signs are out and all the women will also finally agree, but at the end of this March, probably His Majesty still rules the mind.
So the changing face of Bhutan is not just about political parties, the judiciary, the constitutional offices, the bureaucracy or the media about people or the voters.
With women voters outnumbering men, it appears to be another ideal addition to this historic first election.
