polling units

Polling units are designated locations where voters go to cast their ballots during an election. They are usually specific public places such as schools, community centers, or religious halls, each assigned to serve a particular area or neighborhood. The purpose of polling units is to organize and facilitate a fair, orderly voting process, ensuring that every eligible voter has a clear, accessible place to participate. They help election officials manage voter flow, prevent confusion, and maintain the integrity of the electoral process. Essentially, polling units are the physical points where democracy’s voice is actively exercised.
