People used things like stones, sticks, and even body parts to vote before elections. In ancient times, people would put a stone in one pile for one candidate and another pile for another person, it was like a counting game! Sometimes they voted by shouting or standing up to show their choice. It might not sound fancy, but it worked for thousands of years!
Examples
- A group of kids voting on who will be the leader by placing rocks into two separate buckets.
- Grandma uses her fingers to count votes for her favorite candidate in a small village meeting.
