Everyone must visit a polling station on the election day. It is a place worth seeing. Long before the start of the polling, the polling agents of the candidates reach the place with shamianas, durries, chairs, tables and what not. Each candidate displays his election symbol 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 voters. An hour or so before the polls, the voters start coming in buses, cars, tongas etc. they enter the camp of the candidate of their choice, or the one whom they have promised their voters, 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 voter walks towards the entrance of the polling station. The polling staff arrives well before time. Two policemen are on duty at the entrance gate. The polling begins in a calm atmosphere. The voting continues peacefully for two or three hours. Then, suddenly the up our of an agent is heard. He shouts at the top of his voice that the polling be stopped as it is being held in an unfair manner. Poor fellow! Perhaps he has no more voters left in his camp. Instead of taking his defeat gracefully, he blames others. But the polling continues in spite of his shouting. Sometimes ugly incidents occur at the polling station. The candidate quarrel over something. Their supporters, already at the height of their passions, clash with one another, chairs, tables, sticks and bricks are exchanged freely. The police has to intervene and make them quiet, some arrests are made by the police officer on duty and the polling begins again. At last the closing time draws near. All the agents move into the polling station. The doors are closed and the counting of votes begins. An impatient crowd gathers outside the polling station and grows larger and more excited as time passes. When the counting is over, the Presiding Officer announces the result. The supporters of the winning candidate express their joy by shouting and clapping of hands. They move away in a procession raising slogans of Zindabad.
