Why: For charging your phone in case it runs out of battery since waiting in line for too long could bore you.

It can be tiring and a tad bit annoying waiting for your turn to cast your votes. Especially for the older ones; waiting in line can feel extremely long, and you might get worn out when it comes to your turn. This might sound daunting, but don’t worry!

As we are nearing the end of the year, we can predict the monsoon transition phase and the soon-to-come heavy rains. The AKODI Inverted Umbrella is lightweight yet durable, preventing you from the rain and the scorching sun.
Also, the umbrella folds inside out to capture all the wet rainwater inside the umbrella. This means it's easier for you to collapse it when entering your car or house with no excess dripping water.
Why: For protection against unexpected rain and heat during voting.
Overview
You can expect a huge crowd coming over to vote in the General Election, so taking safety precautions is a must.

As a bonus, this face mask also comes in different colours and types for you to choose from.
Why: To protect your safety and prevent spread of dangerous infections.
