Question

Which party used to shift the polling booths in the last minute from one place to another ?

Answer 1

A polling place[1] is where voters cast their ballots in elections. The phrase polling station is also used in American English[1] and in British English,[2] although polling place is the building[3] and polling station is the specific room[3] (or part of a room) where voters cast their votes. A polling place can contain one or more polling stations.[3]

Since elections generally take place over a one- or two-day span on a periodic basis, often annual or longer, polling places are usually located in facilities used for other purposes, such as schools, churches, sports halls, local government offices, or even private homes, and may each serve a similar number of people.
