► Stay overnight at the booth with or without basic facilities such as water or bathroom and even a bedroll to sleep. Share the space with insects, mosquitoes and rodents/snakes in worse conditions.
► Wake up, shit and bathe before 5 is there is a bathroom plus water. Else just change into something else.
► Run a mock poll to check the EVMs functioning early in the morning by 6. Report accordingly.

South Korea will hold presidential election on June 3 to replace ousted president Yoon Suk Yeol
Seoul (AP): South Korea will hold a snap presidential election June 3 to replace recently ousted President Yoon Suk Yeol, the country's acting leader Han Duck-soo announced Tuesday.
The announcement came days after the Constitutional Court removed President Yoon Suk Yeol from office over his ill-fated imposition of martial law in December.
Deep political polarisation will likely shape the June 3 election, expected to be a two-way showdown between the two major political parties: Yoon's conservative People Power Party and its chief liberal rival, the Democratic Party.
The focus of attention is on whether conservatives can regroup and field a strong candidate to compete against the likely Democratic candidate, Lee Jae-myung.
It will be an uphill battle for the governing People's Power Party to hold on to power it struggles to restore public confidence and heal a severe internal division triggered by Yoon's martial law stunt.
