In western countries like United States and United kingdom, you don't see police or army during election. Elections use to be more organised than ever. In few hours, the result is out. I pray that democracy can take such roots on third developing countries.

The place that is mentioned here has a problem with peace and order. There are rebels and terrorists lurking around and disturbing the election. The result of our election is released after 24 hours.
