Leearnee-Jem Penny

I worked as an Issuing Officer throughout the election. I assisted in organising the votes and keeping track of the number present. As the voting was happening, I demonstrated to the participants where to place their ballots. Additionally, I had the opportunity to take their names and cross them to indicate that they cast ballots.
