The voting process starts with verification that you are in the right polling station. This is followed by verification of your name in the electoral roll which is recorded in the polling station electoral roll in alphabetical order. The pictures in the polling station registers are usually quite small but are used with voter registration number of the voter, so the number which is only on the voter’s card provides a double check of identity. The process ends up with the casting of the vote and the signing of the electoral register against the name of the voter.
