<human>:  What is the voting procedure for the presidential election?
<bot>: The voting procedure for the presidential election varies by country and is generally handled by an independent electoral commission. Depending on the country, there may be restrictions on who is allowed to vote, such as age, citizenship and criminal status. Additionally, many countries require citizens to register to vote prior to the election, typically through an online system or by mail. Typically, citizens in countries with a presidential system will vote for one individual to serve as president, but there may also be a system of voting for two or more candidates. On voting day, ballots are cast, either in person at a voting station or, increasingly, through absentee voting. After the polls close, votes are counted and the winner is declared.
