A Voter is a person who has the right to participate in an election. All voters are called the electorate in the polity.

Voting is therefore an act of electing a person for a political office. A voter is to cast his or her vote for a candidate of his or her choice only once in an electoral process, for a given post.

In voting, one chooses a person whom one likes and wants as a candidate for a political office.

A person who intends to vote in an election must register his or her name in the voters' register in the area he or she intends to cast the vote.

Such a person must be 18 years and above and must have signified his or her intention to vote by registering and collecting his or her voter's card.
