·     Are there any gender restrictions? Are there separate poling places?
·     How do you physically vote- what are the machines like? Are there machines or ballots? (What are the protocols for voting)
·     Where are the voting centers? How many are or were there?
·     What are your thoughts about voting there? How did or does it feel to vote?
·     What was your first experience voting like?
