In 1965, Gambia introduced a unique voting system using marbles to accommodate its illiterate population. Voters drop marbles into color-coded drums representing candidates, with a bell confirming each vote. Bicycles are banned near polling stations to prevent confusion.
In 1982, Guam held a plebiscite with six options, including a blank option that allowed voters to campaign and vote for a seventh option.
