Exercised my franchise

Whoah .... we finally exercised our first vote today.

A school in our neighbourhood was the nominated voting centre and our Company gave us the day off after lunch to enable voting.
It was a simple process and hassle free. A counter to check your name on the list before you enter the voting room. Details checked and sent ahead. You enter the nominated room. A person checks your identification, checks the master list, sends you ahead. The next person takes your signature on the register, applies the voter's ink (an indelible mark on the middle finger to ensure one does not re - vote) and sends you ahead. The next person activates the electronic voting machine and directs you to the voting counter where you exercise your vote. And its done. The whole process took us less than 20 mins.

Yippeee!!!
