Paragraph On An Election Day
Voting is the democratic right of every
citizen in a democratic country. People exercise this right through the election.
So election day is a very important day and people wait for the day when
they would cast their vote to elect their representatives for a specific
purpose. It may be a national election or local government election or election
of professional groups. In the case of the national or parliamentary election, usually, it is held after five years unless the party in power loses the majority in the
parliament or happens to fall on public demand and unrest. A day of election is
a day of tension. It is a public holiday. Generally, the voting starts at 8:00
am and continues till 5:00 pm. The voters, candidates, and workers are seen
moving towards their respective polling centers by different transports. The
party workers are very active to help supporters or voters in many ways. The
voters gather in the polling centers and stand in line at the respective
booth for their turns. Interested women and old persons also come to the
centers being escorted by their near ones or party workers. The candidates are
seen moving from one center to another and exchanging views with the voters or
supporters. There are different lines for male and female voters. All the
functions of the election are done by a presiding officer and some assistant
presiding and polling officers. The law enforcers maintain the law and order
situation in a polling center. Sometimes it so happens that the miscreants
attack the polling centers and snatch away the ballot box threatening the polling
officer. After all an election day is not a general day. It is a day having
special value and significance.
