The 2024 US Presidential Election is upon us, with November 5th marking Election Day. While the nation awaits the outcome, determining the 47th President won’t be a straightforward process. This article delves into the complex timeline of counting votes, the potential for delays, and the crucial role of the Electoral College in deciding the winner.
The voting process encompasses several key steps to ensure the integrity of the election:
1. **NOTA Button:** If a voter disapproves of all candidates or the election system, they can press the NOTA (None of the Above) button.
2. **ID Verification:** The First Polling Officer verifies the voter’s identity by checking their ID against the electoral roll.
3. **Indelible Ink Marking:** The Second Polling Officer marks the voter’s left forefinger with indelible ink to prevent multiple voting.
4. **Ballot Unit Activation:** The Third Polling Officer activates the ballot unit after receiving the voter’s slip.
5. **Candidate Selection:** The voter presses the blue button on the EVM corresponding to their preferred candidate.
6. **Vote Verification:** The VVPAT (Voter Verified Paper Audit Trail) device displays a paper trail of the vote to ensure its accuracy.
**Additional Information:**
– Voters are advised to carry their voter slip for easy identification.
