As one monumental election came and passed this last year (the United States election…but you knew that) another one, the Afghan election, has also come and gone with a lot of buzz.
Elections are vital to a democracy and the Afghan election is an excellent step in the right direction for that country (hopefully…too soon to say). Through viciously long campaigns with quirky vote-grabbing ploys, it all comes down to that final ballot. Take a look at these election innovations, from the Afghan election to crowdsourced graffiti.
