Some people have never voted before, so it helps to explain what to do.

Its Ok for me having voted for 46 years.

However in fairness, I explained to my daughter who is 18, what to do, as it was her first time.

I also spent time helping her to know the difference between the different parties and what they stood for.

I also explained that she was not voting for the prime minister and that she should be voting for the person who will serve our area best.

I gave her info on each candiddate and then explained that it was her decision who she voted for.

She took it all seriously and enjoyed her first time voting.

I asked her who she voted for and the bugger wouldn't tell me :-)
