On the day of the general election, people can vote for the party they want to support. They are given three ballot papers to mark. Each ballot paper is for something different.
There is a specific process that each person needs to follow when they arrive at their election station. Click on the link below to see more.
Once marked and inserted into the boxes, the ballot papers are counted and everyone is told how many votes each party received.
The results are announced in newspapers, on television, radio, websites and social media.
