How do you vote for a general election?

In the UK, you can register to vote at sixteen, but can only vote at eighteen. Once registered and eighteen, a polling card would be sent to you. On election day, you go to the polling station assigned to you (usually your nearest). Your name is ticked off, and your voting slip is given to you. You take the slip to a booth and make a cross against the person belonging to the party you wish to vote for. You then fold your slip and place it into a ballot box, and that is it. Sometimes, several elections may be held - local council and others. In which case you will be given different coloured slips. And each slip may have to be put into separate ballot boxes. But all should be explained to you, especially if it is your first time to vote.
