What is democracy?
The noticeboards are there to inform voters about candidates and their political affiliation.
It is the first stage in an election – you need to know who is running in an election so that you can choose who to vote for.
The vote must stay secret : nobody should know who you are going to vote for. That’s why voters take at least two ballot papers.
To ensure democracy, the vote must not be under any pressure.
If people know who you’re voting for (e.g. if you only take one ballot paper), they might try to change your mind !
The POLLING BOOTH means you are alone when you vote, so that nobody can influence you.
You are alone in the booth, hidden by a curtain.
Nobody can see who you vote for.
You must present your ID and voting card so that your identity, age and registration on the electoral roll can be confirmed.
In France, anyone aged 18 or over who is of French nationality (or European for certain elections), registered on the electoral roll and has not had their civil rights revoked may participate in an election.
The voter slides the ballot paper into the ballot box. The ballot box is supervised and kept closed in order to prevent fraud.
‘Assessors’ watch the ballot box to make sure you only submit one ballot paper.
The register not only prevents multiple votes, but also shows how many people came to vote.
Put the different stages in an ELECTION in the right order.
If you get it right, a note will explain the purpose and the importance of that stage.
