Election Day is held in many countries all over the world, but the voters who participate are not always allowed to make a free choice. Only in a democracy, even the word means “power to the people,” do voters actually choose a leader. In an effort to make voting as convenient as possible, early voting or voting by mail is offered. The vote is a way for people to choose which candidate they think will do the best job. Election Day in the United States has been set as the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. Poll workers set up polling stations in schools, churches, and community offices.
