Maria rushed to the following polling station when the sun set while her heart paced with rising apprehension. Approximately six hours of exhausting waittime resulted in a surprise when she came across another closed polling station that had already shut down. A typical election-day hustle and bustle in the streets had transformed into a bleak yet annoyed silence. The real promise of democratic freedoms seemed to transform into a deceptive delusion in the current political situation.

The official nearby told her that the station had been closed since the beginning of the day's operation. Maria clenched her fists. She proceeded with determination to each subsequent polling station hoping that one of them would permit her to participate in the voting process. The importance of voting today made it impossible for her to abandon the day even though everything had gone wrong.
