Armen Recard walked to the designated area for Ministry Employees to vote and saw the security outside. 'Man they are making sure nothing happens to these votes' he thought to himself. He smiled at them and entered the voting area.

he crossed the tiny room and entered an empty voting booth, Armen then picked up the quill and wrote down his candidate choice for Minister of Magic and put it in the locked box were they were to place their votes.

When he left he picked up his sticked and placed it on his chest. He Had voted!

Brian casted his vote and just looking around the place where people just started to coming in, slowly. As a responsible Security head, he stood there and watching the proceedings calmly. He had been looking for some of his staffs too to take the responsibility on that important event.

Grinning widely as she walked down to the voting booths, Becca winked at Brian before going in and casting her vote quickly. She walked out and then stood next to Brian "Staff on the run?" she looked around for people who looked like they were watching the booths but saw none.

Abigail walked up to the little area that she was allowed to vote at. She wiped her brown hair out of her eyes as she made her way to an empty booth. She walked inside and closed the curtain behind her. She picked up the quill and looked down at the ballot.

Then, she voted.

After a few minutes passed, Abigail put the ballot in the little lock box and headed out of the booth. She picked up a sticker and then left the voting area.

Poor Ben Cobblesten had had an alarmingly stressful day at work. Exploding flowerpots, unconscious employees--meh, all in a days work, he supposed. And now, it was time to vote.

This was it...the BIG day. The day that all their hard work had been leading up to--the poor candidates had to be completely frazzled today. He didn't blame them, this had to be stressful! Heck, even HE was stressed about the election.

He walked past Brian and Becca on his way into the booth, giving them both a cheerful smile and uttering "Good day!" to both of them as he passed. He headed into the nearest empty booth and picked up the self-inking quill, filling out his ballot in only a few minutes time. There, it was done--and now they just had to wait.

Brian jumped slightly as he heard her voice behind him suddenly. Wow. "Planned to give me heart attack love?" he nudged her side gently, smiled with a mild sigh. "Yeah, long day is on.." he nodded, "Casted your vote yet?" his eyes were on her, admiring and adoring her beauty even in that busy time. Typical Brian.

Brian nodded and said, "Good day Ben!" he smiled at the senior member and respectable department head as he walked past them to cast his vote.

"Alright?" Becca smiled and then watched him go into the booth before turning back to Brian.

"Did I scare you?" She giggled and then shook her head "Nah, you wouldn't be useful to me then" she grinned and then nodded "Way ahead of ya sparkly, see my sticker?" Becca grinned and pointed to it, waiting for his reaction to her different sticker.

He nodded. "Ofcourse only a bit." he grinned. And the next part was hilarious. He chuckled, just moving away from the spot to get the clear view of outside of the booth. "You said i'm useless for today?" he teased her, smirking and eyed her badge. "Sparkly? what was that new thing?" his brow raised in surprise.

She grinned and nudged him "I said you'd be useless if I gave you a heart attack" she stuck her tongue out and then grinned "Just a new name for you" she laughed "Sparkly" she repeated and then grinned.

Mei Lin stepped hesitantly into the voting room, her mind was made up on who she was voting for but still this was a momentous day and she couldn't help but to think that she should think this over more. But she knew that they needed change and stability. Still it didn't make voting easier and she found herself changing her mind a few times before casting her vote. Shaking her head she stepped up to the ballot and filled it in, hesitating slightly before folding it and dropping it into the box and grabbing her sticker.

On her break from her duties down on level six, Bella Greingoth took the lift up a few levels, stopping when she arrived on the level which housed the voting booths. This was it...the moment they'd all pretty much been waiting for. This was the moment when they'd be able to tell if all their efforts to get Taylor into that top spot would pay off. Once on the tenth level, Bella made way to the room set aside for the voting. She squeezed her way in, and...Merlin, could they not have found a bigger room?...joined the already growing line.

Once she'd reached the front, Bella made way inside the booth and closed the curtain behind her. She read the ballot carefully, making double sure of her choices before marking them off with the provided quill. When she was sure the ballot was marked just as she'd like for it to be, Bella deposited it accordingly, then made way out the booth. On her way out, she stopped to retrieve an "I Voted" sticker and placed it proudly on her suit.

DH lowered himself to the Level 10 from the Department of Mysteries. He had finished his paper works and decided to head for the Courtroom to cast his vote.

He had digested the whole platforms in just days. And he knows the whole facts from the horses' mouth. He is from the research department of the independent campaign after all. So he knew the histories of the candidates, that is aside from the personal research that he had done.

He followed the queue of the Ministry employees and waited for his turn to cast the precious vote.

When it is in time for his turn he entered the booth and closed the curtains behind him. He then voted the right one that he thought was right. He then grabbed a sticker on his way out.

Iain took a trip from Level Five to level ten to go and cast his vote. He needed to be quick, as he was away to whisk Lili away for lunch, but first he had to vote. He stepped into the booth and then quickly filled in the form. He knew who he was voting for, so it was all easy enough.

On his way out, he smiled at his best friend and the man beside her. "Hey Beautiful." He said, with a playful grin. "How are ya?" He said, as he moved to stand next to her. He didn't know the man beside her, but they seemed to be on good terms. Silently, he wondered if he would be introduced.

Forrester made his way towards Voting booth. He was now sure for whom he was voting. He entered the booth, closed the curtains behind him and dropped down a piece of paper with the name of the candidate he saw appropriate and left the booth for the next person to get the chance to vote.

Edward, Just prior to making rounds about the polling place to ensure fair, impartial elections slipped into the voting booth and dropped in his selection. While he said it didn't matter to him who won, he still felt it his duty to make a selection. A great responsibility rested with those who lived in democratic societies and thus, he wanted to ensure that freedom for generations to come. He dropped in his slip and stepped out quickly, to go on his rounds.

Iridesca was very impressed by her first Ministry of Magic election and debates. She really felt that the debates went very well and was even more excited to vote for who she thought had done the best. She followed the crowd of wizards toward the little voting room across from the Courtroom and waited in line patiently...which was a hard thing for her to do...the patiently part that is....she took a squishy toy out of her pocket and played with it to pass the time until she could go in. She had to admit she was a little nervous and hoped that A. she did it right. and B. voted for the best candidate. Atleast there was only two choices and not a million to choose from. Then it was her turn and she could feel her palms getting sweaty as she walked into the room to cast a vote in a very important election....Was it going to be Cooper or Taylor? that was the question of the day.

Even though Sophia could have voted when she set the room and voting booth up yesterday, she had made the decision to not vote until it was time. Mostly because she still wasn't quite convinced by either party over who to pick for the next Minister. There was also the part of her that didn't want to be first. Sighing, the brunette carefully made her way down the stairwell to the small cupboard. They really need the lifts to go down this far; stairs give horrible wear on my shoes.

Once she reached the room, she was pleased to find a small queue had formed outside the room. Even though there was only one booth, it was still moving, which also pleased her because Sophia hated lines.

Upon reaching the front, Sophia stepped inside the booth and closed the curtain behind her. Cooper or Taylor? There was no more procrastinating and all thoughts on their debates and speeches mulled over in her brain as she skipped that and answered the other questions. Once she reached the last question, the department head sucked in a deep breath and exhaled slowly before making her selection. There was no turning back; Sophia read over the ballot once more before quickly depositing it in the slot and then stepping out for the next on line.

On her way out, she picked up an 'I voted' sticker, charming it to be multi-colored before affixing it to her robes.

The Senior Undersecretary made her way out to the polls with that hope that after the votes were in, she would not longer be Cooper's Undersecretary, but would be her own, and the wizarding community's Minister for Magic. Reagan wasn't sure if there would be cameras or reporters hovering around the polls. They seemed to like to photograph and document this kind of thing, especially when the candidates themselves went to vote.

Reagan entered the voting booth and closed the curtain, winking to the nearby voters as she did so. Reagan surveyed the ballot, checked all the desired boxes, and submitted her vote. Pulling back the curtain, Reagan stepped out and made a beeline for the stickers. Of course she'd show everyone she'd voted! And she hoped others would follow her example.

Jonathan walked into the voting booth and closed the curtain. He knew who he was voting for easy enough, so the job was quickly done. He shuddered at his memory of Cooper's school... Couldn't go through that again. He checked off "Reagan Taylor" on the ballot and submitted it. Awesome. He felt super empowered. Coooooooool.

Jonathan spotted more independent campaign posters on the walls as, just a few days after the debate, he came to the courtroom again to, as the election banners (of his own devising, no less) put it, cast his vote.
He nearly collided with none other than Reagan Taylor herself as he headed to one of the booths. She looked pleased.
Humming something that sounded a bit, but not entirely... unlike a currently popular song he had heard on a radio station that morning, Jonathan shut the curtain behind himself and turned to look at the ballot.

He skimmed the questions quickly, then, with a series of precise movements, made a small X in what he judged to be the appropriate boxes (ah yes, the power of the people). Within a minute of entering the booth, Jonathan was done. The ballot paper disappeared in the slot, and he turned to leave. There were a number of colourful buttons to choose from that proclaimed cheerfully to the world that their bearer had, indeed, voted. Jonathan picked one at random and pinned it to his robes. He certainly felt a little peckish now. Nation-building like this was a tough job. He glanced at a clock on the wall. Hmm...Diana might be free for some lunch...

Stacey-Ann entered the room to vote and made her way over to the booths and stepped into one and closed the current she made a small and neat x in all of the approaprete boxes and placed her ballot paper in the box and made her way over to the stickers she had to show that she had voted

Eteria had arrived at the ministry in the middle of the debates so her vote was based on what she had heard since she arrived in the Ministry. Both Cooper and Taylor seemed like great people and she agreed with some of the things both had said. It was a very tough decision as she walked into the voting booth and closed the curtain.

Looking down at the ballot box, she started to think about the things both Cooper and Taylor had said that appealed to her and to her line of work. Careful consideration came with each x she marked on her ballot. When the final question was done, she took a deep breath, stepped out of the voting booth and made a beeline for the buttons. They were just cute! She'd wear her button with style of course.

Syd walked into the room where the polls were and checked the area. No one was around that he knew... at least not that he could see. He went to the booth with his ballot, shut the curtain, quickly dashed the quill around to select his vote, and exited.

Now if only he could escape the exit polls...

Ruther emerged from the elevator and found the courtroom. he looked around and wondered, when will he be trying up a case next...

As he entered the voting poll, he came to see his Department Head but he never mentioned anything, he just smiled and proceeded to the polling booth.

He grabbed a ballot and started to vote. After double checked his ballot and when he saw that it was of his contentment, he put it in the box provided for.

He then exits but grabbing a sticker before he left.
