Etymology

The word 'poling' originates from the verb 'to poll', which has roots in Middle English 'pollen', meaning 'to evaluate or survey'. The term evolved in the context of voting from its earlier meaning of taking a census or count. By the 15th century, it became associated with the act of voters presenting themselves to be counted in an election. As democratic systems developed, the term expanded to encompass the entire electoral process, including the organization of voting booths and the gathering of results. Today, 'poling' is a critical aspect of modern democracies, ensuring that citizens can express their opinions and select their representatives.
