Going to the polls is an important part of the democratic process. It is the act of voting in an election, either for a candidate or on a referendum. Voting is done by casting a ballot at a polling station, and it is the responsibility of every citizen to go to the polls and cast their VOTE. The terms 'VOTE' and 'ELECT' are often used interchangeably when referring to the act of going to the polls. VOTE is a four letter word, while ELECT is a five letter word.
