?Which word?

Do not confuse a polling station (the building where people vote) and a polling booth (the small enclosed space inside it), although Indian English often uses polling booth for both.

Polling station (वह भवन जहाँ मतदान होता है) और polling booth (उसके अंदर का छोटा घिरा हुआ स्थान) में भ्रमित न हों, हालाँकि Indian English में polling booth दोनों के लिए प्रयोग होता है।
