English Essay,Composition on "The Scene outside a Polling Station"
One must visit a polling station on the Election Day. It is a place worth seeing.

Each candidate displays his election symbols all around his camp. He makes sure that the voters have an easy access to his tent. His supporters do all they can to get the maximum number of voters inside their camp. A man, with the Voters’ List before him at a table, waits for others.
An hour or so before the polls, the voters start coming in buses, cars, tangas etc. educationsight.blogspot.com They enter the camp of the candidate of their choice or the one whom they have promised their votes, and take their seats. The man with the Voters List searches for the name of the voter in the list, writes down his serial number on a chit, and gives it to him. Taking the chit in his hand, the man walks towards the entrance of the polling station. The voters of each candidate stand in separate lines.
