A polling station is a designated location where eligible voters go to cast their votes during an election. These stations are set up by local election authorities to ensure that the voting process is organized and accessible. Voters are assigned to specific polling stations based on their registered addresses, and they must present identification or other required documents to vote. At a polling station, voters receive a ballot and can choose their preferred candidates or options in privacy. Polling stations are staffed by trained officials who assist voters and ensure that the election laws are followed. The results from these stations contribute to the overall outcome of the election, impacting local, state, and national governance.
