I will share what used to actually happen during votes when I was a child. Did you also think something similar?
Actually before I was in 9th or 10th grade, I didn't even know what happens during vote. I remember during summer vacations, my parents used to say 'when we will go to Siliguri and Falakata, I will participate in the vote.' I used to actually think during a vote people go around parading and saying the word 'vote vote vote vote vote vote vote vote vote......' and also they also write the word 'VOTE' on placards hahaha.
