Huge thanks to Uwezi, Abulafia and DudeWaldo4 for help with the coding as always making these videos possible. On top of that, thanks to Lathurshaan and TooColdColes with proof-reading of the script and checks of the animations. Huge thank you goes to ant1689 for the incredible thumbnail and feedback and honorable mentions to Aiyush and Burhan.

I thought this topic was a particularly interesting one this year since we have had a couple of major elections and still have a couple to come this year. I liked the fact though that although voting is mainly associated with politics and the government, that we could find a day to day use of it too. I have a lot more cut content than last time which was stuff I ended up removing last minute but I'll try and upload it soon with some bloopers. I hope you enjoy the video :D
